"Wonderful blend of great characters, mystery, humor and sensual romance."

Katya Morgan has never had to work for anything. Pampered and spoiled by her father since the untimely death of her mother years earlier, Katya has been given everything money can buy, including residence at the best boarding schools. All she ever really wanted was her father's love and affection. But that was not to be and, over time, Katya began to equate expensive gifts, given and received, as the only true measure of love. Now, her father has died and she learns she's been disinherited. Why would he leave her with no money, no home, nothing except the clothes on her back?

All Alex Sheridan, general manager of the Royal Palmetto Hotel, knows of Katya is what he's read in the society columns and his opinion of her is less than positive. Yet, his softhearted nature has him offering her a position as a maid. To his surprise, she not only accepts, but proves to be a good, dependable employee who aids him as wave after wave of catastrophic events occur at the hotel. Alex's feelings for Katya grow, but she's convinced that since she's penniless, she has nothing to offer him. Can he convince her that love can't be bought?

There's excellent character transition of the heroine as she goes from pampered miss to responsible young woman. A white-knight kind of hero shares the stage with her in this great blend of mystery, humor and sensual romance.

Summary

Jet-setter Katya Morgan believes that love comes in gilt-wrapped packages tied with neat red bows. So when her father disinherits her, her first priority is to get her money and her cushy life back. Meanwhile, having no way to pay the enormous bill she racked up at the Royal Palmetto Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona, poses a slight problem-and Alex Sheridan, the gorgeous general manager, has the gall to suggest the unthinkable: that she pay off her debt by working at the hotel-as a maid . . .
