Goodreads Blurb:
22 minutes separate Julia Vann’s before and after.
Before: Julia had a twin brother, a boyfriend, and a best friend.
After: she had a new identity a new hometown, and memories of those
twenty-two minutes that refuse to come into focus. At least, that’s what she
tells the police.
Now that she’s Lucy Black, she’s able to begin again. She’s even
getting used to the empty bedroom where her brother should be. And her fresh
start has attracted the attention of one of the hottest guys in school, a boy
who will do anything to protect her. But when someone much more dangerous also
takes notice, Lucy’s forced to confront the dark secrets she thought were
safely left behind.
One thing is clear: The damage done can never be erased. It’s only just
beginning. . . .

help her win her freedom. Is the surly, handsome Captain Leonid telling the
