  Alice is tired of the killing; she wants a nice, normal life. Circumstances won’t let her though and although she has tried to do the ‘right’ thing, the ‘moral’ thing, life won’t allow her to do anything but what she needs to do to protect her family from those that would hurt them.

Being in their crosshairs she realizes she has to change her strategy as life seems to get away from her and the enormity of it all may come crashing down on her and her family.

  Falling in love gives you no time or place, no reason or excuses. It’s a deliberate act that can leave you breathless from ecstasy or pain. There is no rhyme, no sense, no time. There is no precedence, no priority, it befuddles you. In the right time and place it can cause you to reach the highest highs or the lowest of lows. Bad timing though for any romance can hurt you more than the love itself.
