What it’s about. In Genève, bookseller and publisher Axel Thorpe catches willful, rich 16-year old Sibylle Ashby shoplifting. She brags about her writing, so he challenges her to produce a book.

When he drops her for her older sister, should she seek revenge or recapture?

Axel has problems too besides the determined Sibylle: he must come to terms with the drowning death of his mother years ago.
