Having the picture-perfect family is the best cover for a newbie drug dealer.
Mia didn’t realize what she was getting into with her first drug deal. The adrenaline rush, her immorality, made it all the more appealing. When she realizes what she’s done, how badly she screwed up this time, she wants out, wants to run away from the problems she caused. She tries to disentangle herself from the operation, yet the drug lord has other plans for Mia and shows her just how stuck she is.
Desperate for a way out, Mia forms an unlikely friendship with her brother’s best friend—who happens to be the investigating detective of the criminal activity she’s caught up in. Grasping this friendship with everything she has, she fights to escape her situation. But when the threats become more and more violent, she isn’t sure she'll be able to escape the grave she's dug herself.
Charyse grew up dancing at her mom’s studio and riding horses at her dad's ranch. She often turned to books for entertainment, but didn't become the reader she is until high school. She always enjoyed writing, but never saw herself making a career of it. Instead, she turned to her love of cooking and became a certified pastry chef out of high school.
She published the first novel of the Valley of Death Series in 2014 and has published four books since then. She is working toward her BA in Professional Writing through GCU. Now married to her best friend/high school sweetheart, they live in the sweltering heat of Arizona raising their four kiddos and three Goldens. She still enjoys baking the occasional dessert for close friends and family. She's a bookaholic and chocoholic; her vices keep her sane, but YAH keeps her patient.
“Mia”, the second installment in Charyse Allan’s Hart Twins novels, reads like a Lifetime movie about how a teenager’s rebellion can cause unforeseen complications and dangerous consequences.
