When Robert Sloan and Heidi Faust meet, mutual attraction soon follows. Rob, a marital and sex therapist, has no idea that the attractive young woman with whom he has made a date has been a high-class call girl for three years.

The couple spends most of their free time together, and their love for each other grows deeper. Heidi, fearful she might run into one of her customers and fearful of the impact her secret will have on their relationship, concludes that she must tell Rob about her past. Rob, although deeply wounded concludes that his love for Heidi is too great, and prostitute or not, he will not give her up.

When he compares his sexual experience with Heidi's, he is forced to confront uncertainties and anxieties he has not faced before. Heidi does her best to assure Rob that his fears and anxieties are unwarranted, but she has only limited success.

The couple finds marital bliss, which only intensifies during their three years together. But suddenly Heidi tells Rob she is returning to her profession as a call girl. Then all hell breaks loose.

In this poignant love story, two people who could not be further apart in their professional backgrounds embark on an unlikely love affair that, without warning, comes to an abrupt end. Love is replaced with hatred, which leads to both learning the truth not only about each other, but also about themselves. In the end, love proves to be far more enduring than hatred and the two are reconciled.
