Ethan Hanson's 5 a.m. runs are usually boring, but that changes when he meets his new short, foul-mouthed, combat-boot-wearing neighbor. From that moment on, he can't keep Sabra Cross out of his mind, and he isn't sure he wants to. Unfortunately, he has a girlfriend, and he can't figure Sabra out. One minute, she seems to hate his guts but then she's shooting him half smiles that makes his heart beat out of his chest. He knows Sabra's keeping secrets and has problems with trusting others. Is Ethan willing to risk the stable life he's built for a relationship that's doomed?
