Imogen has always dreamed of writing for a magazine. Infinite internships later, Imogen dreams of any job. Writing her blog around double shifts at the pub is neither fulfilling her creatively nor paying the bills.Harri might just be Imogen''s fairy godmother. She''s moving from the glossy pages of Panache magazine to launch a fierce feminist site, The Know. And she thinks Imogen''s most outrageous sexual content will help generate the clicks she needs.

Will she wake up to the way she''s being exploited before her protégé realises that not everything is copy? Can either woman reconcile their love for work with the fact that work will never love them back? Or is a chaotic rebellion calling...

The only trouble is that she also feels invisible. So by night, Frankie creates her alter ego, uploading risqué photos to a small community of online fans. She becomes sexy, confident and, most importantly, anonymous. That is, until Frankie''s two worlds collide and she finds herself thrust into the limelight, along with her secret.
