Book 1 of 3. Isabelle Hardy managed to secure a promotion, something she had never thought would be possible due to her lack of education and damaged background. But where most people normally pity her and move on swiftly, hotel regular Max Knight can't stay away. With all her troubles catching up with her, and allies turning to enemies, Isabelle has no choice but to trust Max. But with his less than desirable past, and his well established presence in the business world, not all of Isabelle's troubles fade away.
