Nina has always played it safe. But when her divorce papers come through on her fortieth birthday she decides enough is enough. She's always chosen the sensible route staying in her stable job and marrying her rather boring ex. In fact - she realises - she's chosen security over excitement for years. Ever since she refused to elope with her first love: beautiful poetic thoughtful Pierre the man she met aged 17 on her French exchange. The only man who ever made her heart race. Maybe it's time to take a few risks? Impulsively she goes online and finds another kind of French exchange. . . a house-swap. She can't imagine what French businessman Jean-Luc wants with her terraced home in rural England but she can't wait to stay in his beautiful spacious bougainvillea-strewn villa on the French riviera. She's not just there for the house though. She's decided to find the love she missed all those years ago. But will Pierre still be the man of her dreams after all this time?
