Kimberly Renton, an editor for a Manhattan magazine, goes to Couture for a week every year. She makes notes of the happenings. It is her time to finally feel like she is getting somewhere with her career. When she gets a different photographer than she expects, she is not sure what to think, but decides to take lessons from her mother and just go with the flow. Plus, he knows nothing about Fashion at all! She has a lot to do in a short amount of time. But the man needs to learn how to dress. Will she undress him too?

Holden MacGreggor is a laid back guy from Oregon. As a private investigator, he is about to venture into an unknown territory. He is not even sure why he took this case but sees a chance to prove himself again. His new “boss” could be a huge help. There is a lot he is going to have to learn in order to pass as a fashion photographer no matter his experience taking beautiful photographs. Yet can she help him with his aching heart?

Fashion is taken very seriously in France. Even the police are keeping security tight so that nothing happens. Kimi, to her friends, must stay on top of things to get the best story. Her rivals are in town so she must stay focused at all times! Holden has no clue what is going on other than someone is stealing the best fashions every year. The wedding gown made by Simone will definitely be one to be watched. Kimi and Holden have to work together to figure out who is involved. They just might work themselves into a frenzy and into bed. Could their cover be blown? Will this be their last time in Paris? Or will they catch whoever is behind this awful scheme and feel accomplished?

This sizzling hot story is set in the right place. Being the city of love, Paris definitely is full of romance wherever you look. I loved reading about a place I have been as well and sighed along as I was taken on sights that I would love to see again. Ms. Warren knows her stuff and it is reflected in the pages. Nothing dragged the story and the twist at the end was a shock! I love fashion and this story appealed to me from the very beginning. Then I flew along on love’s wings with Kimi and Holden.
