Descripción editorial
Rival photographers are forced to collaborate on a body-positive lingerie campaign, but they might have to readjust their focus when sparks fly.
Photographer Cassie Harris loves her job—her company Buxom Boudoir makes people look beautiful and feel empowered with her modern twist on classic pinup photography. Cassie’s best friend, Dana, is about to launch her own dangerously dreamy lingerie line and wants Cassie to shoot and direct the career-changing national campaign. But company politics and Dana’s complicated pregnancy interfere, and Cassie finds herself—a proud plus size Black woman—not behind the camera but in front of it.
Though she’s never modeled herself, Cassie’s pretty sure she can handle the sheer underwear and caution tape bralettes. She’s not sure she can work so intimately with the chosen photographer, her long-time competitor in the Chicago photography scene, Reid Montgomery. Their chemistry is undeniable on set, however, and feelings can develop faster than film…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jackson's debut drops readers into a loving found family on the verge of extraordinary success in the world of inclusive lingerie. Cassie Harris's pinup photography business, Buxom Boudoir, is booming with the help of her best friend, Dana, a plus-size model and influencer. Now they've turned their combined passion for body inclusive fashion into a line with Luscious Lingerie. Art directing the line's photography could catapult Cassie's career, and both she and Dana are sure no one else can translate their vision. Enter Reid Montgomery, the man who consistently scoops Cassie's dream gigs with similarly styled photography that always focuses on industry standard models—and who now steals the art director gig out from under Cassie. Then Dana's pregnancy lands her on bed rest just before the launch, leaving the shoot short a model, and Cassie sees a chance to wrest back some creative control by filling in. Cassie and Reid's ensuing enemies-to-lovers romance charms, but the heart of the story lies in Cassie's determination to build a career in a world where fat women are often overlooked. A glamorous cast of bold, driven women—and the men who learn to love them—makes this romance a treat.
