Simone’s boss makes her life a living hell, but she refuses to quit her job.
She might have a stack of bills stuck to her fridge, but this isn’t about money. She’s entered a competition under James Ficklow’s name, and if they win, her designs walk the runway in Berlin.
Troubled by the lies and deceit brewing at the office, she starts to question her chances of winning and her future at Ficklow’s prestigious label.
Simone has no other choice but to risk everything and carve out her own path to win.
Logan Clearwater answers her call for help like rain in the spring, offering her more than she thinks she needs. Fortified by past disappointment, Simone keeps their chemistry at arm’s length until one night she lets her guard down. Too soon it is obvious: Logan has nothing to do with Simone’s professional success until he has everything to do with her personal happiness.
But Simone can’t bear the thought of sacrificing her pride and independence, not until a series of unforeseen complications threatens to unravel her dream.
Has Simone spread herself too thin, gotten too distracted by love, to win?
