Harper Calhoun doesn't need any more complications in her life. Then one shows up. A seriously major complication that also happens to be a link to her past. This isn't a surprise she needed or wanted, but she's going to have to deal with it. In fact, she wants to. That's what friends do. Following rules (even the ones she's set for herself) has been a big part of how she's gotten herself through life. Does she dare break the rules now? She might not have a choice.

Harper Calhoun lives a pretty rarified life. She's the personal confidant of Hollywood's elite. But she does more than rub elbows with them.

But when the spotlight turns on her, she's the one who can't deal with the pressure. The risk is too great that the truth about who she really is will be exposed.

With the media now her worst enemy, Harper Calhoun throws herself into the things she can control. Like getting closer to her sister and niece, and helping her handsome neighbor.

Like the changes that are on the horizon. Big, life-altering kinds of changes. Everything she thought she knew about her past could be a lie. But Harper's done keeping secrets. She wants honesty and truth from everyone around her.
