| Cindy Warren is the manager of a small, somewhat eccentric hotel. The hotel's owners are sending a corperate hatchet man to her hotel to evaluate its worth, and Cindy and her staff are frantic to make everything perfect for the upcoming evaluation, which is to be performed by Stanton, a man known for his ruthlessness.
Unbeknownst to Cindy, Stanton arrives at her hotel a week early, planning to make his preliminary examination of the hotel undercover. He checks in as Eric Quinn, and proceeds to do his job. Eric has always made it a point to be completely professional in his evaluations, and is blindsided by his irresistable attraction to Cindy. He tries to fight his feelings, but eventually gives into them, mistakenly thinking that Cindy has uncovered his true identity. After spending the night with Eric, Cindy recieves a phone call informing her of who Eric really is. She is outraged, and becomes emotionally distant with him. He hates it, but realizes that there's nothing he can do to change her feelings toward him and that he needs to do his job fairly. As Cindy and Eric work together, they both come to the realization that they are in love. Cindy is disgusted with herself for loving an immoral man whom she despises, and Eric is desperate to find a way to get her back, but fears that his feelings will not be reciprocated | ||
