Beautiful, independent-minded Hillary Baxter was only twenty-one when she swapped the fields of rural Kansas for the bright lights of New York City. Three years later she is a successful model and proud to have made it on her own terms. Now a chance encounter with Bret Bardoff, the charismatic owner of Mode magazine, might just send her career into the stratosphere. But at what cost?
Bret is famed for being strong-willed, demanding . . . and brilliant. As Hillary spends more time with him she begins to discover another, softer side to his character. Hillary knows she should keep her distance - with the frosty Charlene Mason on his arm, Bret is very much spoken for. But it's much easier to strike a pose than it is to control your heart . . .
