Journalist Rebecca Fine has always dreamed of breaking one of those big, important stories that change the world. Right now she's writing the beauty column for a glossy weekend supplement, so she's not quite the Kate Adie of her generation just yet. On the man front, she hasn't had a date for six months, and that might be why her hormones go into over-drive when hard-news journalist Max Stoddart - tall, broad, Hugh Grant hair, Paul Smith suit - arrives in the office. When they discover that a bestselling new anti-ageing cream has disastrous side effects - it makes the users tell the truth, which can get a girl into all kinds of trouble - they've got the perfect front page story to pursue. But will the sparks between them also make the headlines?
