From the Back Cover
Kate Protheroe was thirty-seven years old, had a son, Jake, and was separated from Matt, her husband. It was a trial separation, and for Kate it hadn't really worked - she still loved Matt, and she was lonely. If it hadn't been for Roly, a friend of the family, she didn't think she could have copied. Roly was heavily-built, clumsy, plain, untidy. He was also kind, loyal, and emotionally undemanding - or at least that was what Kate thought about him. He had made himself the platonic mainstay of her life.
But then the friendship changed - for Roly had fallen in love with Kate almost the first moment he met her. He was clever at hiding what he felt, but then the love became obsessive. As Kate's emotional life slowly began to resolve itself, so Roly's mental state was to disintegrate into near-hate for the woman he had loved.
