Fighting the Silence — J.F. Holland

Heather Jackson becomes a selective mute after witnessing the death of her mother at her own father's hands. As everyone believes Val Jackson ran - and took her daughter with her - no one is looking for them.

For years, Heather is held captive at her father's club, Man-Cave. The horror, of not only her mother's death and her own imprisonment, but being witness to the abuse of captured women within its walls takes its toll on her. Fighting her own fear of reprisal, Heather puts her life on the line to help the women escape.

After receiving a tip off over a trafficking ring, Mike Samuels goes undercover. Once immersed in the seedy club, Mike is not only sickened by the members, but also finds himself inexplicably drawn to the quiet but feisty, Heather.

Will he be able to free not only the women who are being held captive, but also locate the ones who've already been sold?

Sometimes fighting your own fears is all it takes to be free of the Silence.
