Numb

Melanie's life was going just as planned until she found out the man she married ended up being a person who she didn't even know anymore. Jake had turned to drugs and was so addicted and in so deep that he was trying to kill his own wife for the insurance money to pay off his dealer.

She couldn't turn to her family for safety, as she felt it would put them in danger. She tried to turn to her best friend Carrie but that ended up not being an option once Melanie found out that Jake and Carrie had their own secrets.

Melanie was beaten, kidnapped, drugged, and shot at. Will an order of protection keep Jake away? Will the safe house actually be safe? Will Jake or his drug dealer, Todd Jeffreys get to her or will it ultimately be the top dog who kills her? Her only hope for survival is Officer Mike Walker and his best friend and partner, Officer Joel Keller. Will Mike be able to save the woman he fell in love with or will Jake end up finally getting the money he needs by killing his own wife?
