Cora met James and they had a magical one night stand. Now 5 years later, Cora is a struggling single mother who lost her job and her father is extremely ill and she is trying to take care of everything alone. She has been blackballed and getting a new job has been impossible. She is offered a waitress position at a gentleman’s club called Eden. Here she can make a substantial amount of money. Her first night she just hosts but on her second night she agrees to allow herself to be selected for the evening. Cora is selected by none other than James. However, she is humiliated and angry when he doesn’t seem to recognize her. So in the morning she steals all the money out of his wallet. Realizing she can’t go back to Eden because she may be arrested she is thrilled when she is offered a public relations position that pays well and what she is trained for. Now when James sees her working at his company he automatically thinks she’s there for more money or to blackmail him. He wants to immediately fire her but she was hired to improve the public image of the company. This was a great story. James was a little bit of a grump, and certainly distrustful of Cora and her actions. Cora did look for James to inform him about her son but wasn’t able to locate him. So can these two people get over their issues and find their way to a happily ever after? Can Cora and James find a middle ground where they can both be open and honest?
