Title: Irina
Description: Irina is shoplifting in a designer store in Moscow when she is spotted by model agency scouts and just like that, she leaves behind a life of survival and scavenging and heads straight for the cover of Italian Vogue. It's all one big weird dream to Irina at first. She's never been pretty, her eyes are too big and her nose is covered in unfashionable freckles. But hey, if some idiot wants to pay her 5,000 pounds a day for striking some poses, she'll do it. In fact, when Irina arrives in London and meets her three new flatmates, she stops being ambivalent and starts being hungry, and not only for yummy Western food like Four Cheese Pizza. Irina is hungry for supermodel status. She's going to be the most sought-after model that Fierce have ever had on their books, and nothing's going to get in her way. Not even gorgeous Brazilian Photographer's assistant Javier, who is the first boy to ever treat her like she is worth something. You can't afford to lose your heart in this business, it makes you soft. And soft is something Irina has spent a long, long time training herself not to be...
