Paula Ward, impetuous co-owner of a cleaning service, has just dusted the penthouse of computer magnate Tom Clinton. She’s slipping into a slinky gown in his lavish bathroom when the handsome millionaire arrives unexpectedly, catching her half-clad – and putting him in a compromising position with his guests, an ultra-strait-laced couple with whom he’s about to sign a mega-deal. Fearful for her much-needed contract with his company, Paula agrees to save the situation by posing as his wife. Soon she’s traveling to France with Tom, posing a sedately married woman while a fierce attraction roars between them. Caught up in a sensual battle of wills, this cleaning lady fights temptation, but it’s a losing battle … for Tom as well as her.
