It all starts in a forgotten villa on the Lazio coast of Italy. A crumbling estate in need of repair. Two women with nothing in common except the same roof—and a summer that will give them something they will never want to let go of.
Syria is twenty-seven and has spent her life leaving places behind. She takes the gardener job because she needs the money, not because she plans to stay. Alessandra is twenty-five, determined to restore her family’s villa, survive the wedding preparations, and buy herself time by pretending to be the person everyone expects her to be. Everything is going according to plan—until it isn’t.
Soon, they must contend with stifling heat and long evenings with nowhere to go, arguments that start to feel like something else entirely, and an attraction that begins as a distraction but quickly spirals out of their control.
Amber Blue is a sapphic forced-proximity, slow-burn romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension and class divide, set against a backdrop of family secrets.
