    About this ebook

    Meet Adam, a divorcee in his early forties who did not expect to be single and finds he no longer knows the rules of dating. He meets a number of unsuitable women and so creates a set of rules that he feels may improve his chances of finding the right partner but which are also designed to stop him getting into difficult situations. However, the rules are based on experience and logic, which Adam believes are more pragmatic than emotion and impulse. Will his head rule his heart as he rejoins the dating roller coaster?

    Author

    Nelson Brooks

    Nelson Brooks is something of a polymath. A writer of poetry and short stories for over twenty years, this is his first novel. It draws upon his experience of living and working in the city of London. When not slaving over a hot keyboard, he can be found frequenting karaoke bars and some of the citys fine eating houses. His biggest supporters and harshest critics are his wife and three children, who challenge his every written word.
