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
