A product of the social system, Jaxxon Carter's life was tainted with violence and pain when she was young. Everyone would leave. At learned at an early age, she learned to never let anyone in if she didn't want to feel grief.
At twenty-two, Jaxxon works as a barmaid only to be discovered by a talent scout who then offers her to become a model of a cosmetics line. Her life gets a 180o turn. With her bluntness and alluring beauty, Jaxxon becomes a popular model and the times when she had to worry about whether she has enough money to go by were gone.

But he does not allow himself to be fazed. Connor pursues Jaxxon like a man possessed and he is determined to let her acknowledge the attraction between them.
See From Rags by Suzanne Wright in:
When you
say "Suzanne Wright", the first thing that comes to my mind is a
creator of headstrong and witty heroines.
I really
loved Jaxxon. She was so funny and despite the change in her lifestyle, she
remained down-to-earth. I actually felt for her when she got angry because of
Connor contacting her when she became a popular model. That just felt so wrong.
This story
was "a clash of alpha personalities".
Connor was
very possessive and bossy and Jaxxon wouldn't allow anyone to tell her what to
do. It was refreshing and fun to see their personalities clash.
I just
hope that there's going to be a second book in the series.
