Model Alysha has been selected to become the face of a major cosmetics company's new campaign. When it turns out that the campaign's renowned photographer is Ross, she is forced to confront an unpleasant memory from five years ago.

After that humiliating first meeting, why on earth would Ross choose to work with her now? (Source: Harlequin/SB Creative Corp.)
