Charley's already problematic life gets flipped upside down when her best friend is reported missing. ***** Charley King was never bothered by the violence around her; living where she did that was to be expected. That is, until her best friend disappears and she is thrown head first into Isaak Volkov's life. Blunt and deathly beautiful, Volkov is the last thing Charley wanted or expected, but as time begins to run out, she realizes he may be the best ticket into the world into which Alice disappeared. *UNEDITED*
