Ask any film buff, falling in love with the man you're sworn to protect will get you shot.

Connor Hastings-Doyle hasn't taken a literal bullet for client-turned-lover Jamie Kent, but with the film noir life his fiancé's ex-husband leads, it isn't out of the question.

After an attack leaves Jamie without his memories, Connor is only too glad to whisk him from Anniston Falls, New York, back to the somewhat less dangerous—though equally backstabbing—hotbed of intrigue that is Los Angeles.

Amid the colorless set of his former life, all Jamie knows for certain is that being with Connor illuminates the shadows. Even the loss of everything he used to know can't dim the deep love and trust he feels in this stranger's arms.

As the skeletons of the past begin to rise, some might be better left buried in The Asylum Fight Club's infamous parking lot. Slaying those demons isn't the role either Connor or Jamie signed up for, but together they can finally rescript history to become the heroes of their own Hollywood romance.*
