Life was not always kind to Nicky. Raised by a cold mother and a mostly-absent father, she 'escaped' into an abusive marriage from which freedom was not an option. When Fate twists her life's thread again and leaves her without even the marginal protection of married life, she must make it on her own for the first time. An online dating service promises to ease her loneliness, but Nicky gets something she was never expecting ... now she must decide if she's brave enough to give Fate the one-two punch she'd been handed all her life.
