Charley makes a living as a model. It's a job that pays the bills and affords her the opportunity to do what she loves. On the outside she appears to have it made with her life in the high fashion world. But behind the mask, is a girl who carries the grief of tragedy and loss and Jude is making dents in her tough exterior and making it hard to keep up the faade."Being near him makes me feel vulnerable, like I am playing on empty train tracks, but telling him my true feelings is like leaping off a platform toward an oncoming engine."Jude is commanding and brilliant behind the camera. He has seen his fair share of hot models and one night stands. Enter Charley Whitlock, the blonde haired blue eyed beauty standing before him in a cream Dior dress. Those blue eyes staring back at him through the lens of his camera may be more than he can withstand."She’s like a wild horse; I have to slowly coax her away from the isolated life she’s made for herself. I know she’s had it hard; I can see it behind her eyes, but she can’t hide forever, and I want to be the person that saves her. I want her to be mine."Let me just start out by saying that the angst in this book was STUPENDOUS. It was chew your nails, pull your hair out, I can't hardly stand it, and I loved every minute of it.  The photo shoot set the precedent for an angst filled story. I could visualize the scene while it was unfolding and the sexual tension was off the charts intense.Watching these two try to resist the pull they had toward one another was frustrating. I wanted so badly for them to give into the urge. And yet, they exercised will power like no other, sort of. A kiss here, an orgasm there…you know harmless flirting. There was a HALLELUJAH moment that was long overdue and I was seriously overjoyed and relieved all at the same time. My poor fingernails took a brutal beating.Overall, I enjoyed the story.This was a fantastic debut novel and I am excited about all this is yet to come from RS Grey.
