Amber is a successful architect in her early 40s, juggling a demanding career with her role as a loving wife and mother. Despite her professional confidence, she feels notably self-conscious and submissive in her personal life, often losing herself in raunchy paranormal romance novels that fuel her secret fantasies. Married for ten years, she constantly strives to reconnect with her husband, Mark, who always reassures her of her beauty. Amber also has a 21-year-old daughter, Ruthie, from a previous marriage, who is currently in college.
