Celia Aldwick never felt comfortable in such an... ordered society. This new government reeked of underhand plans and deceit, yet people were blinded by the PM's scheme. So when Celia happens to mention her doubts to the otherwise inconspicuous girl at a coffee shop, she is surprised when this girl shows genuine interest.
Eventually, Celia discovers that her colleague is a Poet - and when she meets this secretive league, she accidentally stumbles upon a sinister plot by the 'government'. 
As part of an undercover operation, she is sent by the Poets to retrieve the plans from 10 Downing Street - but just as she's about to steal the papers, the Prime Minister steals her heart...All Rights Reserved
