Anne, a passionate cook and author of numerous cookbooks, has managed quite well in her life without a man. Until she unexpectedly meets the movie star Pit in a hotel lobby: a typical, unreliable womanizer, she thinks. Then events take a turn, and Anne gets swept up in a joint PR stunt. The press hails them as the new celebrity couple, and her cookbooks sell like hotcakes. However, what was initially planned as a purely business arrangement begins to take on a life of its own - and Anne must admit that she cares for Pit more than she would like to. A turbulent novel based on the principle that things often turn out differently than expected.
