But Céline doesn't feel the same way: she can't forget the fact that Félix once wrote a scathing review of her first piece of writing, crushing her literary ambitions in the process. Worse, Félix doesn't even remember her name. Céline decides to take her revenge.

She is ready to surrender to love... but a chance encounter causes her to wonder whether Félix isn't playing some twisted love game.
