Vivien Charbonneau is a woman who has no time for nonsense. As the proud owner of 'La Guele de Lua', she works to crush competition in the culinary world, not to make friends. Not one to be particularly charmed by social interactions, she finds thrill in her life by making sure everything within her control is perfect and unblemished.

There is one problem, however. Though she claims to have made peace with her way of life, in reality she is bored and oh so painfully lonely.

This veil of mundanity comes to break Rodie Lamoree, a woman with a clever mouth and a fiery determination. Blunt and not afraid to speak her mind, Rodie is unlike anyone Vivien has ever encountered before. So passionate. So full of life. So... fascinating.

She is the kind of person Vivien would normally dislike. And yet, for reasons she can't understand, her thoughts are plagued by that read-headed headache day and night.

Between the two women, an unlikely friendship blossoms-- with the silent promise of something more.
