Sutton White is on the verge of losing everything. Her bills are piling up, her rent is unpaid, and the bank is unwilling to loan her any more money. But just as she's ready to give up hope, her best friend, Sandra, makes a bold suggestion: Sutton should go into Sandra's racy line of work and try nude modeling to get cash quickly. Initially intimidated by the act of posing naked for strangers, Sutton says the idea is too radical for her taste; but after a few more glances at the absurd amount of debt she's acquired, that wild suggestion starts to sound a little more reasonable.

But when a too-tempting dare turns into a salacious affair, reputations and careers are put on the line, secrets are exposed, and hearts are in danger of getting broken. What if word gets out about Sutton's naked escapades? Will Ashton be able to acquire the promotion? And how long can the two keep their relationship hidden before a foe finds out?
