Publisher Description
They thought it was safe to lose their hearts. But the past is a dangerous stalker.
A smart SEAL knows when it's time to pack it in. After 12 years on the teams, and a horrific mission that stretched him to the breaking point, Steve "Smoke" Tannen is transitioning to civilian life and a new job helping other vets who've forgotten how to see the world in shades of grey.
One spot of color is his pretty next-door neighbor. Delicate features, chestnut hair—and a fight-or-flight wariness in her grey-green eyes that triggers his protective instincts.
Samantha Applehoff would be laser focused on her goal of owning a coffee and bake shop—if she wasn't always looking over her shoulder. She can't shake the feeling she's being watched, and now a secret admirer's leaving gifts in her locked apartment.
To make matters worse, she's not sure if her eerily quiet, unfailingly courteous, undeniably hot new neighbor is making her less anxious… or more.
The attraction is instant and their connection is real. But when Sam's fears strike in real life, Smoke has only one shot to save her. And it could cost them their own happy ending.

Great read
This is a couple hours book at best but the author is talented.
This is a bit of drama/mystery/romance held in a very good balance, with strong likable characters. The story does NOT move forward on stupid, a pet peeve of mine. So it is an enjoyable get away book to read that leaves you happy and wanting to read about the brothers who are single, what their stories will be. Plus, wanting to know more about the town and inhabitants and what will happen.
I’ve noticed this author seems to be an under 200 pages writer, but it is not leaving you wanting for missing story. The books I’ve read of her so far feel very complete, I think she leaves out the excessive emotional conflict that others relish, so the read is quicker but I think more satisfying and that is saying a lot as I usually gear towards 400-ish page books, epic style. Sex scenes aren’t too over the top and still easy to skip, AZ focuses on building the relationship -vs- porn action, again, I am much appreciative of this as it is against where modern books are heading.
I would recommend and I will read this again. Awaiting the next in series to come out.
