Love. Lust. Laughs. And a dash of scandal.
On the glittering shores of the 1930s French Riviera, two newlywed couples are enjoying their honeymoons. But when Elyot and Amanda—divorced for five years—discover they’re staying in adjacent rooms with their new spouses, sparks fly… again.
One romantic serenade and several cocktails later, old passions reignite and the former lovers abandon their baffled partners, eloping to Paris in a whirlwind of glamour, chaos and razor-sharp repartee.
