It's the hottest thing that's ever happened to Loring Model Management. Three of its unknown models have been chosen to star in the debut spring collection of bad-boy designer Marco Lombardi - and one of them will win an exclusive, multimillion-dollar contract. But the agency's owner, Justine Loring, is furious. Only she knows that Lombardi's billionaire backer, Jacques Necker, has set her up, hoping to manipulate her into chaperoning her models to Paris, and meeting him face-to-face.
But Justine isn't about to play his game. She dispatches these three sensational girls - the classic Minnesota blonde, the African-American goddess, and the moody Tennessee redhead - in the care of her fiery second-in-command, Francesca Severino. Little does Justine know that their two weeks of discovery and love affairs will be matched by an explosive encounter in Manhattan that will change her own life.
