A hot tub is steamy and relaxing. The wine is having its effect. One thing leads to another and soon leggy redhead Stephanie Davis finds herself being carried away on waves of ecstasy - in the arms of a stranger.

Later as she regains her equilibrium in the privacy of her room, Steph Davis tries to understand her behavior, which is totally out of character. The stranger in the hot tub, millionaire Ian Redgate, although blonde and handsome, has a reputation as a woman-hater. The anonymous note she has just found on her pillow warns her against him and mentions his late wife died under "suspicious" circumstances.

For fearless Stephanie, who has never hesitated to go where angels fear to tread, her romantic and professional involvement with this particular "stranger" may turn out to be a fatal fool's errand.
