What’s the point of love affairs if they aren’t unique?

Louise Lemarié is 20, with her whole life mapped out for her. In the fall, she'll marry a man she doesn’t love, but what does that matter? After all, she must save the firm that her father has reduced to ruin. The comfort that awaits her doesn’t make her unhappy, though it does bore her. Little does she know that the summer will change everything. Louise meets Guillaume du Guénic, the scion of a neighboring château, a lazy dreamer her own age who has come to forget his Parisian debauchery. Between society events and insolent banter, they both run the risk of falling in love. Most importantly of all, Louise discovers that it is possible to escape her fate and recover her freedom.
