Destry must satisfy the demanding new manager of a major hotel account, but his 'all taking and no giving' approach to love makes it difficult. Destry, a printer, is determined to keep the Brannick Royal Hotel as a client. The new manager, Gene Brannick, presents a challenge not only in business but also in his personal interactions, which Destry perceives as selfish. She resolves to teach him a lesson about love through the example of her own large, supportive family, believing that even his serious problems can be overcome with 'love, Italian style.'

The premise suggests a contemporary romance novel with a focus on a strong-willed heroine teaching a seemingly cold businessman about love and family. The narrative likely emphasizes character development through their interactions and the influence of Destry's family. The 'love, Italian style' element hints at a warm, perhaps passionate, resolution to the central conflict. The story appears designed to deliver a feel-good romantic conclusion.
