A second chance at a first impression.
When Anna Wright interviews for a job as assistant to celebrated photographer Daniel Redfern it's not only her last chance to follow her dream to be a photographer but also an opportunity to escape her toxic ex-boyfriend.
Daniel is the best, but notoriously difficult. His reputation for exacting standards precedes him - standards Anna fails to meet when she turns up at his office fifteen minutes late and, having forgotten her umbrella, soaked from the rainstorm.
Daniel doesn't give second chances, but Anna is not what he was expecting. She's feisty, and not afraid to tell him when he's wrong. So, he offers her a trial period in the whirlwind world of high-fashion photography.
As they work together, sparks fly as both Anna and Daniel discover they may have misjudged each other. Daniel is not the arrogant celebrity he is famed to be, and Anna's creative passion and flare for photography is a refreshing change from those Daniel usually works with.
But when their personal histories threaten to overshadow their budding romance, will Anna and Daniel take a chance on love, or will their first impressions keep them apart?
