When a running accident leads to a chance encounter with an intoxicating and intimidating neighbor, Jillian wonders if this is a chance for a brighter beginning. As a secret operative, Reid Jackson avoids intimate relationships like the plague. Having a girlfriend would be like having a third arm, while they may be useful now and then, both would just get in the way. Yet when Jillian stumbles into his arms, literally, Reid can't deny the attraction. Could being neighborly really cause that much harm? When Jillian gets caught in the crossfire, she learns just how dangerous Reid's world can be. And that he may not be the only one lying to her.
