Chasing a new beginning, Poppy landed a job in Dallas, but the moment she met her neighbor's gaze, his stormy-grey eyes made her feel like life was worth living again.
Julian once thrived as an elite soldier, but after a devastating attack on his base, he was thrust into unwanted retirement and into the role he despised: CEO of his father's billion-dollar weapons empire. Scarred by betrayal from his last girlfriend, Julian swore off dating. Then Poppy moved in across the hall. Quiet. Guarded. Beautiful. Impossible to ignore.
He told himself he was just being neighborly. He lied, and he knew it.
The more Julian found himself drawn to Poppy, the more he noticed the fear lurking behind her smile, the way she checked the hallway before she stepped into it. Determined to uncover the truth, he made it his mission to protect her.
Neither Julian nor Poppy suspected that her new job and apartment were part of a larger plan.
