Everyone has their private muse. Artists have theirs - that familiar, pretty face that appears in their most incredible creations. Composers have their unique muse - an evocative, sultry theme or motif, prevalent in all their finest works. Poets certainly have theirs - often in the form of unattainable Gods or angelic creatures with whom they are hopelessly in love, and who give them their greatest inspiration. Mark Avery was no exception.
Avery is a thirty-six-year-old, single, affluent journalist who is highly dedicated to his career. A confirmed bachelor, he has never allowed affairs of the heart to hamper his progress in the world. This is until he encounters Malvina, an inspiring, ethereal figure who appears to him in a dream. Motivated by his vision, Avery meets Mandy whilst on vacation in the Cotswolds. Although Mandy physically resembles Malvina in every respect, her assertive nature contrasts with Malvina's gentle, angelic demeanour. As their relationship develops, Avery begins to realise that Mandy does not embody his ideal. This is further confirmed when he later discovers her private lifestyle and is forced to make one of the most difficult decisions of his life.
