Catherine's marriage had been a disaster, she had known from early on that she had made a huge mistake, and her parents are delighted when it ends and she moves to a flat in Porthcawl. It is a new beginning in every way: a new job in Cardiff, new friends, and an attractive and interesting new neighbour, the first meeting with whom is a disastrously wet start. However, the blossoming of Catherine's new friendship with the ruggedly handsome best-selling author living in the flat above her encourages the beginning of her growing self-confidence and opens up new avenues to an exciting and interesting future.
