BIRDIE Escaping an unthinkable nightmare, I’m given a second chance at life. Cole Trenton is the first person to look past the broken girl. But the moment I give him my heart he leaves. Secrets never stay buried, and mine returns with a vengeance. Cole walks back into my life when I need him most. He shows me how to be strong, that monsters only have the power you give them. But my biggest fear remains. How do I silence the girl in the closet before I lose Cole again? COLE I always knew Birdie Liles was different, but that didn’t stop me from falling for her. After years of being away, I return home to bury my best friend, only to learn that Birdie’s in trouble. If I had known about the monster from her past, I never would’ve left. I went to fight someone else’s war while I left the woman I love unprotected. But I’m here now, and I’m ready to send Birdie’s demon right back to hell. Please note: The Girl In The Closet contains graphically violent scenes that may be upsetting to some readers.
