Juniper “June” Lark just wants a fresh start. With her mischievous Newfoundland puppy, Killian, in tow, she moves into a new apartment hoping for a little peace… and maybe a chance to breathe after surviving an abusive past. What she doesn’t expect is Roman Ellis—the cold, grumpy lawyer next door who seems determined to make her life more complicated. Their first encounter is chaotic, tense, and full of accidental puppy chaos, but forced proximity soon has them seeing each other in ways they never intended. As June’s warmth and courage start to crack Roman’s icy exterior, he becomes a steady presence in her turbulent life. And slowly, through laughter, trust, and a very large, unpredictable puppy, they may just find that love can bloom in the most unexpected places.
