Influenced by the passion and peril of love, dark comedy, and riveting tension, WHEN SHE LEFT firmly establishes crime fiction writer and essayist E.A. Aymar as "a benchmark of noir fiction." (as he was described by legendary thriller writer James Grady). In WHEN SHE LEFT, 23-year-old Melissa Cruz can\u2019t help falling in love with dreamy-eyed photographer Jake Smith, even if it means betraying her boyfriend Chris Winters, a rising star in his family\u2019s criminal organization. After barely escaping when Chris discovers the two of them together, Jake and Melissa find themselves on the run, with nowhere to turn and danger around every corner. To catch Jake and Melissa, Chris Winters calls upon a group of assassins who work for his family, among them a man named Lucky Wilson. Lucky has built a life for himself as a real estate agent by day and, unbeknownst to his wife and daughter, a hitman for the Winters at night. But Lucky hasn\u2019t been himself ever since discovering his wife\u2019s affair, given to crying fits and panic attacks. He takes the job on the promise that he can leave their criminal network and attempt to rebuild the family life he desperately craves.
