Penelope Cooper is not who she appears to be to everyone in her life. 4 years ago, in the middle of nowhere, she set her life down a new path. With her phone being thrown into a field, one terrifying phone call, she was officially on the run. In one of the biggest cities in the world, 2 hours away from where she was expected to be, Penelope changed her hair, her personality and the name everyone knew her by. 

One god forsaken day, the office she has worked at for 3 years is sold. Alexander Seagrave was not what Penny was expecting that Friday afternoon, nor was it a change she would be excited to see. 

But when Alex sets his sights on his quiet, nervous PA, he finds there's a lot more under the surface than he initially thought. The fear in her eyes was just the beginning and with one crazy late night visit, everything changes.

~~
"I'm keeping some of my secrets." 

"Your entire life is a secret Poppy and the more I find out about you the more I am completely floored." 

"Well stay on the floor because I'm not telling you another thing."

Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania. ------------ 'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought.
