Growing up, Callie Richelieu could not await the day she would finally be able to leave the family business. The hotel she grew up in and a family tragedy had been becoming more and more of a burden - until one day she couldn't take it anymore. Years later, tragedy strikes again and Callie is ripped out of everything out she has built up for herself. Driven by guilt she accepts the family legacy and goes back to the one place she never wanted to return to.
Things go from bad to worse when the financial situation becomes more and more worrisome. While Callie is struggling to keep the business from falling apart, the last thing she needs is a certain presumptuous kitchen help/bellhop by the name of Vincent in her life. Yet when someone starts to sabotage her efforts, they need to combine forces and learn to work together in order to save the hotel.
And who knows, returning to the Richelieu might be exactly what Callie needs in order to face her demons and maybe discover love along the way.
