Všechno, co osmačtyřicetiletá čerstvě „single“ spisovatelka Maggie Blissová potřebuje, je začít pracovat na nové knize. Jenže ze sebe nemůže nic kloudného dostat, právě se rozešla se svým přítelem a tvůrčí blok se jí nedaří prolomit. Je zoufalá. Naštěstí má pro ni její literární agent a kamarád Lee řešení – Paříž! Krásný byt s milou a elegantní hospodyní připravenou splnit každé její přání – teď už přece nemůže práci na rukopisu nic bránit. Ostatně, kde jinde by na autorku romantických příběhů měla čekat inspirace, když ne v srdci města světel, lásky a kultury? Sen o hvězdné kariéře nikdy nebyl víc na dosah… … anebo se všechno ještě může zvrtnout? Termín odevzdání se blíží a Maggie stále ještě zbývá napsat podstatnou část knihy. To poslední, co potřebuje, je, aby ji od psaní někdo rozptyloval. Jenže dovolenou v Paříži právě tráví i její okouzlující exmanžel, s nímž zůstali dobrými přáteli a který je tu také sám. A když Maggie ráno ve své koupelně nečekaně narazí na pohledného Francouze, je jasné, že o vzruchy a rozptýlení tady nebude nouze. Ale kde je ta múza?
