Summary
Carla Connor is stubborn and self-sacrificial to a fault. She refuses to let any of her loved ones get tested. After Aidan, it’s a gift she could never accept, a debt she could never repay. So, she insists on waiting for a match from the donor register, thank you very much.
Back home from the hospital, she’s adjusting to life with daily dialysis, doing her best to be there for Betsy, who’s grieving Mason, and to be a partner to Lisa despite the toll her condition is taking on her. But no matter how hard she tries, kidney failure is wearing her down, physically and mentally.
Ryan can’t stand to watch his aunt suffer any longer. Rob might be a match, but his offer comes with strings attached and a cost Carla can’t afford, in more ways than one. So, Ryan calls the one person he knows who has any chance of knocking some sense into her: his mother, Michelle.
Carla is stubborn and convinced she doesn’t deserve this kind of sacrifice. But too bad for her, there’s a long list of people who love her and they’re not about to let go without a fight.

Summary
Carla Connor is the formidable editor-in-chief of Revière, the UK’s most powerful fashion magazine and a global authority on style. She is uncompromising, and her opinion carries the greatest weight in the fashion world. Once she's in the room, everything else loses its meaning.
Lisa Swain is a former Detective Sergeant who was forced to make a drastic change in her life four years ago. Having built a new career in journalism, she had never imagined she would one day find herself attending an interview at a fashion magazine. She doesn't understand the difference between fabrics, the brands, or how to match colours, and she has no idea who Carla Connor is.
Yet somehow, their worlds collide - and neither of them could predict what would come of it.
