HE GAVE NEW MEANING TO THE TERM TURNDOWN SERVICE

The devastatingly handsome manager of the Hotel Mount Jefferson, Gabe Trask, was all too eager to offer a wide array of amenities to Hadley Stone when he thought she was just a holiday guest. But once he learned that she was really there as a representative of the cost-cutting management company that had just acquired his hotel, Hadley expected Gabe to really be on her case. And he was-just not in the way she'd imagined....

For Gabe knew that despite all her down-to-business, cost-cutting talk, Hadley was a romantic at heart-one whom he was inexplicably finding hard to resist. And he could see in her eyes that the feeling was becoming mutual. Now all he had to do was convince her to check her business instincts at the door-and focus on the personal....
