"Did you ever fall in love with someone so completely that you forgot who you were? Like you can't breathe without them. Like you're two halves of a whole, and that nothing makes sense unless you're together?"

Jaime Alvarez always thought of himself as an ordinary working-class guy, so he was thrilled when he landed a job as a security guard at the Laurel Canyon home of Hollywood action star John Gillespie.

What he didn’t expect was the added responsibility of John Gillespie’s daughter, Amber.

High up in the Hills, guarded, secure and deeply damaged, Amber hides herself away from the public and the paparazzi. When Jaime first meets her she is crippled with anxiety and panic attacks so severe she can barely stand the touch of the sun on her skin.

As her friendship with Jaime turns into something deeper, Amber is forced to face her past, and the poisoned love-affair that destroyed her and turned her into a recluse. Worse, she must face a secret that may also destroy her – and Jaime’s – future.

Some bonds are harder to break than others.
