Acting on impulse she slams out of her cab into the blizzard, snaps a picture, and tells him he should be a model. More specifically, HER male model. Dylan thinks the fiery redhead is crazy. But there’s something appealing in what she’s offering. What if there’s a way to beat one spoiled little supermodel at her own game?
