Max, ever the professional, is less than impressed.
As the weeks go by, their interactions are full of tension-Emily, eager to prove herself in the fast-paced world of fashion and culture journalism, finds herself constantly clashing with Max, who is all business and has no time for distractions. But beneath the surface of their bickering, something unexpected begins to stir.
When an upcoming feature brings them together on a high-profile project, Emily and Max must work closely-forcing them to confront their differences, as well as the growing attraction they can't ignore. As sparks fly and secrets unravel, Emily finds herself questioning everything she thought she wanted, while Max struggles with the walls he's built around his heart.
