Wrong then Right is deeper than one first suspect, even though the setup seems to be a bit weird and FMC was unwilling to compromise her principles to the point of suffering.
Hope Coleson is rich, but she left it all behind rather than submit to the controlling life that wealth demanded. Unfortunately, she's having a rather bad day. As wait staff at a hotel, she went to visit a guest in the off-hours, and had a very memorable night with a hot guy who doesn't talk... then was wrongfully terminated. Which lead to her being evicted from her dumpy apartment. Her savings account also mysterious vanished. She had no choice but to sleep in her car and take up waitressing a classy strip-joint. One morning, when she was parked near her favorite house she dreamed of buying one day on her own money, she was startled away by a knock on the window... It was that guy who bedded her! When he learned he sorta caused her losing her job, he offered up his guest-room... He had plenty of space, and she... needed a place to stay. Then he learned her surname... Same name as his boss. He just slept with his boss's step-sister. This is not going to end well, esp. when Beckett can't trust another woman after the previous one betrayed him. Not that he can allow the situation to continue...
While I admire the principles of the FMC in not taking ANY of the family money, it's also a bit masochistic. However, the multi-layered angst was quite good, as each has multiple reasons not to fall for each other.
