More DescriptionIt's Friday night, a new movie is playing at the town theater across the street. Katie Monroe, younger sister to Maude and identical twin to Elli, is staring out through the shears of her bedroom window hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious man with the piercing blue eyes. There is something about those eyes that reach deep into Katie's soul.

He'd seen her around town and stopped to talk with him from time to time. She was kind, spirited, smart and he was attracted. Would he ever have a chance with such a beauty? Probably not but it was to dream.Two men who were distant relations to Henry and Melody, killed his parents for a family fortune that had remained dormant for many years. It took them 3 years of searching to find the only other heirs to the fortune. They found them. Now, to finish the job...
