Gussie McBain's signature look is one that changes daily, always a colorful wig and lots of makeup. Only her partners know the true reason why she wears the wig but when she runs into Tom DeMille, a famous fashion photographer, he sees what lies beneath and her life changes in extraordinary ways, and so does his. He has some serious baggage from his past and both touch each other in ways that heal them both, creating the most lovely of relationships.

Tom recently became guardian of his 12-year old niece Alex following his sister's death and it's not going well. When she bonds with Gussie, Tom finds yet another connection and reason to admire Gussie. Their romance was incredibly special as they both transformed before each others' eyes. It's never a question of their feelings but their willingness to risk them. Tom's metamorphosis was particularly emotional and Gussie's was amazing

I'm still in love with this story and can't seem to let it go. It will always be one of my favorites.
