Synopsis:
Brad Stewart likes good hotels, as places of fulfillment. Right after his divorce, the well-traveled Texas architect begins a search for love and sensuality. Inspired by an anonymous sexual encounter in Corpus Christi, in which he was seduced, Brad plays a coy game with home-town acquaintance Kate Kennedy when they meet in a Houston hotel. The wife of a millionaire rancher, Kate seems willing to have a tryst but she’s prevented from going to Brad’s room by her driver and bodyguard. Kate, however, leaves Brad a suggestion for another “accidental” meeting and while they’re in Austin and in San Antonio, she reveals her unhappiness. Red Kennedy has not consummated their marriage and when she develops affection for an artist, she discovers why: Red is gay, and so is the artist.

Her lurid confessions bond Brad and Kate. For her, it’s a test of trust, a way of assessing their future. As Brad continues to fantasize about Kate, three other women from his past change his focus. In San Angelo, where he goes every year for the birthday of Miss Margie, a family friend, he celebrates her 84th with Becky, a flame from his teens. A wife and mother of two, Becky reminds Brad of the importance of commitment even as she is suffering from cancer. Then, Nancy, a high school sweetheart, leaves Brad a message and they meet in San Antonio on his 40th birthday. In the romantic atmosphere of the Riverwalk, they rekindle a romance and when Brad comes to her room to escort Nancy to dinner, they fall into bed and in love.

On their way to dinner in a horse-drawn carriage, Brad sees a distraught Kate being led into a hotel by the bodyguard. Later, he tells Nancy that he needs to see someone and he goes to Kate’s room. She reveals that she is about to be artificially inseminated to satisfy a clause in a Kennedy family will. Pleading for Brad to wait for her, even though she is about to become mother to a Kennedy, Kate is interrupted by the room door being opened by the bodyguard, using an extra key. He assaults Brad. With help from Kate, Brad disarms the attacker. In the aftermath of that excitement, Kate becomes seductive and they fulfill one of Brad’s fantasies, although Kate needs to help herself to orgasm.

Some time later, in a Dallas hotel, Brad reflects on his sensual hotel experiences as he waits for his wife to return from a pre-honeymoon shopping trip. He remembers the birth announcement for Kate’s twins, the death of Becky, and the repercussions of having stood up Nancy in San Antonio. But, when his wife returns from shopping, we find that it’s Nancy.

In an epilogue dated 15 years later, Brad is solicited by Kate and one of her twins, a boy named Stewart, to meet in Fort Worth. Brad learns that Stewart is his son and that the teen knows about Red’s idiosyncrasies and wants a relationship with his biological father. With Red dead, Kate wants to secure her children’s future, the daughter who needs expensive medical treatments and the son who needs a role model. Brad agrees to keep the secret, to stay in close touch with Stewart and he becomes eager to announce to Nancy that a 15-year-old boy is now part of their family.
