Description: When Nell was a student, she and Patrick were a serious item. They were inseparable, and she really thought he was The One. But then Alex came along -- the safer, more restful option, and thanks to her over-controlling mother she opted for him instead. Now nothing is going right. Alex has left her to live in New York with a younger, blonder woman. Escaping to the Caribbean for a recuperative holiday, she is mugged at Gatwick and her bag is stolen. It's crisis time and she makes two decisions: First, she will take lessons in self-defence. Second, she will try and find Patrick again. Is she trying to put the past behind her -- or setting out to ruin her future?
