Ever since she lost her virginity at fifteen, it was in sex that Val found a way to both feel and express herself. She had no hang-ups and enjoyed it. Too much perhaps; she began to fear she might be a nymphomaniac. In writing a journal she finds a new means of self expression, and on its pages she leaves a record of her most intimate, highly erotic memories.

Val is a high ranking businesswoman working for a multinational, successful and sexually liberated; she has never been in love. That's why, when it arrives, love is such a surprise to Val. In it she finds something she could never have imagined; something even better than sex.

But love has a dark side, and on discovering this Val's world is turned upside down.
