Zachary Forester, a tall and arrogant hotel owner, is used to getting his way. When he demands to be seen first at the hotel reception, he's met with unexpected defiance from Fleur Danby, the receptionist. She has no idea who he is and tells him to wait his turn. Their fiery clashes lead to her being fired twice, igniting an undeniable attraction neither of them wants to acknowledge.

Fleeing to her father's cosy bed and breakfast in Dorset, Fleur thinks she's escaped Zach—until she learns his family has purchased a nearby mansion. Mistakenly believing he's about to marry, she tries to avoid him, but Zach finds her and clears up the misunderstanding. The chemistry between them is electric, but first, they must unravel a mystery tied to Zach's family before they can follow their hearts.

As Fleur and Zach dig deeper into the troubling past of a young man staying at her father's inn, they uncover dark family secrets that bring them closer together. With love blossoming amidst the chaos, they must confront the truth and embrace their feelings before it's too late.
