just waiting to make her move.

Her Little Lamb would also go.

The King of Hearts
Called on the tarts,
And beat the Queen full sore;
The Queen of Hearts
Nearly fell apart
But vowed she’d be beaten no more.
The Queen of Hearts,
She played her cards,
While poisoning the wine away;
And fed it to every King of Hearts
Who enjoyed chasing
Their queens like prey.
Losing the game of Stolen Hearts is how she gets them to play: the cads, the wife-beaters, the white-slavers. Predators turned into easy prey. It’s no accident that she’s known as the Queen of Hearts by most males in town and she won’t rest until they all pay for their crimes.

One not so grieving widow.

As Lucy Locket works one of the events she organized, she spots someone wearing a necklace that seems familiar. It's exactly like the family heirloom that was stolen from her grandparents when she was very young. A locket.
Before she died, her grandmother told her to find it. That it was her destiny. She didn't understand what Grandma Maeve meant by that until she was standing face-to-face with that necklace. The stories all made perfect sense. There was just one problem. It was hanging around someone else's neck.
A pickle if ever there was one.
The solution?
Steal it back.

Aspen Collier lived a life of privilege. Rich parents, private school and then an Ivy League college. A perfect existence, until the night her baby brother was killed. A hate crime that ripped away the rose-colored glasses and exposed the ugly underbelly of her elite community. The horror was compounded when his killers were set free, the case pushed aside and leads left unfollowed. Desperate to avenge her beloved brother and to escape the shroud of grief lying over her family home, she answered an ad on the black web.
Are you tired of being a victim? Do you want to learn the skills to survive in a world gone mad? Do you have the stomach to pull the trigger? To kill? A number was listed, a British extension and area code. When answered, an address was given. As she traversed the intensive physical and psychological training, she repeated Rocky's favorite nursery rhyme over and over in her head…
This little piggy went to market…
There were five of them back home, five little piggies who were going to pay for their crime. She wasn't waiting on the cops, she was going to be jury, judge and executioner and laugh about it…all the way home.

Hush, baby hush
Momma can’t say words
And Papa’s so high he’s soaring with the birds
If you stay here your life will be over
Your parents will never be sober
And they don’t want you to learn to sing
So, come with me, and I’ll give you everything

Let Momma save you from all your fears
Hush, baby hush and don’t you cry
Momma’s gonna save you from the wicked lullabies.
