To My Darling Mom: Leukemia took your body and touch away from us all. But it can never take your soul or spirit. I lock that away with me always. I love you very much. No one will ever take your place. You were a soldier in everything you did. I wish I had 1/3 the strength you had. You will rest in peace now. But one day soon, I promise to be there beside you again. This time it will be for always.
R.I.P. Mom

"It’s one thing to conquer your dreams. It’s another to help people realize they can conquer theirs one day as well." ---Stacy-Deanne
MELODY is a thriller unlike any other... Melody Cruz is certain her sister’s new boyfriend, the wealthy, charming and handsome Keith Taylor, has a dark past that he will do anything to hide. Wanting to protect her sister, Melody works to uncover Keith’s secrets, not realizing that in doing so, she is sacrificing her own safety---because Keith will go to any lengths, dangerous or violent, to keep himself in control.
At the same time, a man named the “Albany Predator” has been brutally raping black women throughout the city, and Melody is convinced that her best friend is the rapist’s next target. Detectives Brianna Morris and Steven Kemp are placed on the case, determined to bring the sadistic felon to justice. But when things couldn’t get anymore complicated, all evidence is turned around to reveal a surprising suspect.
Full of forbidden desire and unwavering strength in the face of danger, Melody is a chilling tale that will leave readers breathless as they navigate all the plot twists and turns. Struggling to survive until the end, the diverse cast of characters will be left questioning their loyalties, their passions and how far they might be willing to go to protect the ones they love.
