Do you know how it feels to remember moments you wish that were never there? If they never ended? Continued, until now? Haven't you always read stories where you only know one specific character's part of view? What about all the others? Aren't they humans? Can't they have a part too? I, inspired by the amazing writer, Jodi Picoult, have written this on-going fictionist to show you that life, is a roller coaster. Not like, or maybe, but is. You've got to live it. Welcome, again, to the life of unfaithful beings. How the roller coaster may turn, fall, swish in the wind, you cannot control it. Enjoy.
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.

Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family.
