Chloe's peaceful life was a lie, a fragile shield crafted by her grandfather to keep her safe. To protect her from his empire-built on blackmail, murder, and control-he sent his most trusted operative, Ezek, disguised as an aloof neighbor, to watch over her.
Chloe's curiosity about her new neighbor spiraled into a compulsion to watch her, fascinated by her every move. Their mutual spying uncovered a connection neither could deny, a love that grew quietly shrouded in secrecy.
When the dark truth of her family's legacy came to light, Chloe risked everything to confront her grandfather and free Ezek from his grip, only to draw the gaze of deadly enemies. Swept into a sinister game, with assassins closing in and time running out, Chloe must outwit her adversaries and make an unthinkable decision: seize control of the empire or destroy it-before it destroys their love.
