About the book
THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT Destry repeated to herself. The Brannick Royal Hotel was one of her largest accounts, and when the new manager showed up in her printing office demanding stationery, Destry was inclined to go out of her way to keep him happy.

Gene's problems were more serious than selfishness, but they were nothing that love, Italian style, couldn't solve.
