Ellen has been living alone in her picturesque, if damp, cottage since her husband abandoned her for the pleasures of life in Provence.

She married once for love, but is determined that the second time around, it will be for money. Close at hand is Duncan, her not-unattractive divorce lawyer. >Most importantly, he is single and enticingly wealthy.

Then into Ellen’s life comes Jo-Jo, a young homeless girl, several months pregnant, and Matthew, an artist who paints murals in country houses and criticizes Ellen for being mercenary. As Ellen plans for a future with Duncan, both Jo-Jo and Matthew know that you can’t plan love.
