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. Then one freak storm ruined everything. Now stuck in a life that she was desperate to escape from, Maggie will have to figure another way out because staying…? It’s not an option. 

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 or how many women warm his bed, 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 five years ago. Getting close to Maggie may destroy what’s left of him, and though he tries his damnedest to push her away, everything about her shadowed world draws him closer.

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, it's Maggie who pushes Mason away, but when the temptation is six foot three, has a pair of delectable dimples, and can fill out a Henley like it's a sin, Maggie is going to have to decide if Mason's world is worth staying for, or if she should stick to the plan.

And run.
