Dumped on her 30th birthday by the man she thought she would marry, Victoria Shepworth - known as Victoria 'Total Bloody Relationships Disaster' Shepworth to her friends - is feeling desperate. So desperate that she cuts her hair, temporarily considers becoming a lesbian, and even throws herself into internet dating. Armed with a new computer and an anonymous nickname, she soon starts to feel human again - especially when she starts receiving emails from a highly desirable Frenchman in Paris who claims to be a single white male seeking a single white e-mail.
