C'est ainsi qu'elle a grandi aux côtés de Lucas Leroux, son ami d'enfance. Sous le même toit, leur relation s'est tissée naturellement. Leur amour semblait aller de soi. Mais le jour de ses vingt-deux ans, alors qu'elle pensait que leur histoire allait enfin aboutir au mariage, Lucas a annoncé publiquement sa relation avec sa meilleure amie... Et elle ? Elle n'a eu droit qu'au titre de « petite sœur», devenant la risée générale. Aux yeux de Lucas, elle n'était qu'un parasite pitoyable, un chewing-gum collé au talon dont il ne parvenait pas à se débarrasser. Lui et ses amis la méprisent profondément. Tous lui conseillent d'ouvrir les yeux et de ne pas gaspiller les derniers restes de leur lien passé. Sa meilleure amie, pleine de bonnes intentions, va jusqu'à lui proposer de lui présenter un petit ami. Alors Manon décide de se tourner vers Julien Bernard, cet homme froid et inaccessible. Julien est justement celui que sa meilleure amie convoite depuis toujours celui qu'elle désire sans jamais avoir pu l'obtenir. Julien n'est pas seulement un chirurgien cardiaque de renommée mondiale, il est aussi l'héritier de la plus puissante famille de Norville, les Bernard. Il est un autre ami d'enfance de Manon, mais aussi... l'amour secret de sa demi-sœur. Julien déteste le côté capricieux et arrogant de Manon, il déteste son manque de retenue, et surtout, il déteste sa manière de manipuler. Mais voilà : la jeune fille est belle, vive, séduisante à en perdre la tête. Et lui... il n'est pas un homme vertueux. Attiré dès le premier regard, il s'est laissé prendre au jeu, en est devenu accro, incapable de s'en détacher. Il a fini par se soumettre entièrement à elle, devenant son unique chevalier.

Two hearts united as one; fusion. "Do you Audrey Dexter, take Ace Zimmer to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold, in wealth and in penury, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?” “I do."

He was not-so-subtly trying to skip to the end as soon as possible. “I pronounce you man and wife.” The priest smiled, mirroring Audrey’s. “You may...” “We’d rather not do that.” He cut him short once more as he whispered.
