Chasing Charlie - Book 1 in the Girls' Week Series

BOOK ONE

Four friends take a vacation. An adventure of a lifetime: sun-soaked beaches, cocktails, and gorgeous men. What was supposed to be a trip of a lifetime turned into a nightmare when Charlie vanishes without a trace. The nightmare is even worse when they discover she was taken by a terrifying web of human traffickers. The friends must now navigate a dangerous and gritty underworld, forging risky alliances and testing their courage and loyalty in unimaginable ways. Their friendship, once a source of light, becomes their only weapon against a world filled with darkness. Will they have the strength and cunning to bring Charlie home, or will they become lost to the forces that seek to tear them apart?

They survived Panama City.
Coming home was supposed to mean they were safe.

Charlie, Emma, Sam, and Lena return to Seaside desperate to reclaim the lives they left behind—their shops, their families, their routines. But normal doesn’t come easily after surviving a nightmare.

A stranger watches too long. A shadow disappears into the fog. Anonymous calls bring nothing but the sound of someone breathing on the other end.

And soon, the four friends are forced to face a terrifying possibility:

The nightmare didn’t stay in Panama City.
It followed them home.

As the danger closes in, their childhood promise—Ride or Die—takes on an entirely new meaning.

Whoever is hunting them has made one deadly mistake.

He thinks they’re still victims.

They’re not.

This time, the girls aren’t running.
