The Silent Cries of a Magpie

Her only option is to escape... The plan was perfect. Maggie Davis was getting out of her nowhere beach town and leaving for a bright future hundreds of miles away. The college scholarship was set, the job was secure, the apartment was paid for, and there might be a futon involved. She was even bringing her dog along for the ride. Then one freak storm ruined everything. Now stuck in a life that she was praying to escape from, Maggie will have to figure another way out because staying...' It's just not an option. Not if she wants to survive. There's nothing he can do but hide... Mason Scott knows that hiding from a memory is impossible, and no matter how much whiskey he drinks and women he uses, he'll never be free of the one night that will haunt him forever. But fate rears its cruel head when Maggie is thrust into every aspect of his life, a reminder of the piece of his heart that was ripped away from him four years ago. Getting close to Maggie may destroy what's left of him, and though he tries his damnedest to stay away, everything about her shadowed world draws him in. All that's left is to be silent... Secrets are best left to the silence. That's something Mason and Maggie know too well. But the more Mason learns about Maggie, the less he understands. And just when he's ready to open his heart to her, the unthinkable happens. Now Maggie will have to decide if she should stay and fight, or stick to the plan. And run.
