Cozette Lion is the youngest child and only daughter to a Hotel and Resort dynasty; Lion Industries. Having had the reigns of the company passed to her and not her older brothers, she works very hard at proving her father made the right decision. 
Cozette has driven Lion Industries to be even more successful than it was with her father at the reigns. She's done so well that she's almost driven her top competitor Carnello Hotel and Resorts into a hostile takeover. 
Derrick Marks wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was born to a mother that was poor and had an addiction; He worked hard to become the man he is today. Derrick's mother worked for years as a maid for the Carnello family, allowing Derrick to become close to, their only son Rafael. Rafael was handed the reigns of his families company and doesn't know what to do with them. 
He asks Derrick to get close to Cozette, to see if he can get any insider information that will help him put her in her place. Derrick owes him so he agrees. What he wasn't ready for was falling in love, with Cozette.
