Unexpected

Sometimes it’s the people closest to you that hurt you the most. And when that’s the case, no one is safe.

Hazel Cooper’s life is everything she ever imagined. She has the man, the house, the ring. But even after living in Austin, TX, for several years, it still doesn’t feel like home. With her fiancé, Michael, gone more often than not, and with her family states away, Hazel finds herself secluded and alone in a city that still feels strange.

The life and the man she thought she wanted no longer look, or feel, as promising as they once did.

But she’s not completely alone. Her neighbor, Luke Shepherd, with his dark hair, six and a half foot frame, and sleeves of tattoos, knows something is amiss, yet seems to have a knack for making Hazel’s life extraordinarily difficult. They’ve butted heads for years, and being neighbors, their lives feel closer than either of them would prefer.

But it only takes one look through Hazel’s bedroom window at the wrong—or right—time for Luke to witness something that changes everything.

With one look, the secrets Hazel has craftily hidden are quickly revealed. And even with the best of intentions, Luke’s help—and his own tumultuous past—could leave her in life-threatening danger.
