Publisher Description
Maid service was something she required...
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 the manager has the gall to suggest the unthinkable: that she pay off her debt by working at the hotel-as a maid...
Not something she ever expected to provide!
Alex Sheridan, the hard-working general manager of the sumptuous Royal Palmetto hotel, doesn't much care for the spoiled Ms. Morgan-at first. But when she dons the uniform and proves her mettle as a housekeeper who cares about more than cold, hard cash, he begins to change his mind. He's got plenty to distract him when a rash of disasters befalls his beloved hotel-disasters that could be the result of a saboteur. It isn't long before Katya finds herself in imminent peril just as Alex is starting to fall for the once-spoiled brat who's acting more and more like a real woman every day...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Drawing on a formula similar to the one used in her previous book, Record Time, Brandt dishes up another lighthearted office romance touched with humor and suspense. Rich, pampered Katya Morgan finds herself without money, clothes and a means to support herself when her father dies and leaves everything to her stepmother. Katya is determined to come up with enough cash to contest the will and regain her party-girl lifestyle, but first she must find a job. Salvation comes in the form of handsome hotel manager Alex Sheridan, a rescuer of damsels-in-distress who happens to have an opening in housekeeping. As Katya struggles to learn how to clean toilets, ride the bus and make her own food, she strikes up a sexual relationship with Alex that quickly turns serious. The one thing standing in their way is her fear of intimacy. An unlikely subplot involving a hotel saboteur adds little suspense (Brandt's laughable villain brandishes a baseball bat instead of a pistol), and the author's tendency to reiterate her characters' motivations will wear on readers. Overall, however, this is fun, breezy beach reading.
