When Sierra Vaughn moves into a charming little house in a quiet town, she expects peace, inspiration for her next novel, and maybe even a fresh start. What she doesn't expect is him-Damien Wolfe, the brooding, ex-Marine who lives right across the street. Grumpy, private, and impossible to read, Damien wants nothing to do with his lively new neighbor-especially when her Golden Retriever, Chestnut, keeps invading his perfectly ordered life. When an unexpected obstacle forces them into a reluctant agreement, Sierra and Damien find themselves thrown into each other's lives in ways neither of them anticipated. She's sunshine; he's a storm. She talks too much; he barely speaks. She believes in romance; he doesn't believe in much of anything anymore. But the line between annoyance and attraction is a thin one. And as their forced proximity turns into something deeper, Damien realizes that the real clause in this arrangement might just be letting her in. After all, falling for the girl next door was never part of the contract.

Damien's head tilts slightly, then he turns toward me - slowly, purposefully, like a predator pivoting to a new prey. My pulse hammers against my throat. That grin of his blooms across his face, slow and wolfish. It looks wrong on him - or maybe it's just too right. "If you believe, even for a second, that your insult from earlier will go unanswered..." his voice drops to a near purr, "...you're in for a very rude awakening." My back finds the closed apartment door before I even realize I'm moving. The cool surface of the wood presses into my spine as his shadow swallows the light between us. I can't move. I can't speak. His frame fills my vision, his scent closing around me. He leans in, slow enough for me to feel each inch of air he steals. His breath fans across the bare skin at my neck. My eyelids flutter heavy and half-closed as I feel him inhale deeply, savoring me. He stops just shy of my ear - close enough that every nerve there screams for contact. "I wonder," he murmurs, voice like heat and smoke, "if you taste as good as you smell." He drags his breath across my neck, deliberately slow, like a fingertip tracing the edge of a blade. Each exhale scorches a trail down my skin until he's at my other ear. "Just you wait..." he says, quieter now, more dangerous, "...your punishment will be ten times as painful as this." She stalked him. He found her. Now obsession is a game neither can escape. Persephone's quiet life shatters when Damien Veylor-a tattooed hacker with a dangerous smile-discovers her secret. What begins as punishment ignites into something darker: control, desire, and a fire that could consume them both. She should run. But when the man you've only fantasized about finally looks back... running is the last thing you want to do.
