"Ruthless company troubleshooter Brett Rutland has been called in by his boss to investigate an embezzlement case in his company. His suspect is the entire accounting department particularly the quiet beautiful bookkeeper, Tessa Conway. He disguises himself and sets a seduction game with Tessa to acquire evidence of her misdeed. Tessa is surprised to be suddenly caught by a gorgeous man's attention and she's shocked to find herself reciprocating the attraction. However she has been burned in a previous relationship by a cheating lover and learns not to trust easily. As the passion between them grows, the line between reality and lies get blurry and Brett suddenly finds himself torn between protecting Tessa and convicting her. Can Brett save both his job and Tessa? Can Tessa completely trust Brett whom she suspects is much more than what he appears to be?"
