Being a model can be hard especially when dealing with the pressure and stress from your agent and people around the agency.
Gabriella Madrigal has been a model since she was twelve and now twenty- one years old dealing with harsh comments from her agent and the other models who hate her are having success in the modeling business.
Gabriella could pretend that everything is fine when she knows it is not and try to not kill herself by forcing herself to lose more weight to fit that perfect model type that her agent wants even though the crazy part, she already has that perfect body for it.
Can she overcome it and stand up for herself by ignoring the comments? Or will she give up and end the dreams that made her who she is right now?
Also, will Gabriella let someone in her life to help and love her no matter what and always still be with her even though she is dealing with a lot of things?
Someone like Kai Hyun, a twenty-two years old photographer whom she met at her job after both of them bumped into each other......well as you know the rest is history and it ends in a happy ending :)

WARNING: THIS BOOK IS ONLY FOR AGES 18+ PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN THAT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DECISION. THIS IS A WARNING. "In everyone's eyes, I'm seen as a perfect little angel... they must be blind." Park Jimin; a twenty-five year old model who is loved by many and known as the most perfect celebrity alive. No one could really give one reason for it... Maybe it was the way he spoke; a careful cluster of words that were cherry-picked to suit the tone of his voice, his reputation; a perfect angel that was loved by the whole world, or maybe it was the way he always had people wrapped around his own finger, including an indie photographer himself; Jeon Jungkook. Unlike Jimin, the young twenty-three year old worked hard each and every day to have it all! Jeon Jungkook had a team for his business, and a very simple photography studio to showcase his love for art and express it through the lens of a camera. Even if he wasn't well-known, the quality in his work were mesmerizing. His life was simple until, Park Jimin chose 'The Golden Closet Studios' to hold his next photoshoot. "It's just business right...?" At least, Jungkook believed so until he began to catch onto such an unusual tension he shared with the 'innocent angel'. Leading into a whole new world for the young photographer to explore in once he began a special relationship with the devil disguised as an angel. Along the way, he starts to see the truth behind the innocent image Jimin portrayed to the world aside from the sensual behavior he would display behind closed doors.
