Davina was her name and she pleaded that I should not write this, that I should not expose her to the world. Apologies, sweet Davey, whose standard would I bear if your starlit eyes had not so pleaded. Those days are gone. These are the opening lines from The Stormer, another hilarious, romantic comedy novel by the author of The Sex Diaries. It sees struggling artist, Hugh, think he's made it when he's commissioned to paint a mural on the gable end wall of a tenement in his beloved home-town of Glasgow in Scotland. He paints a nude of his long-lost first love, Davina. But she's married to a senior cop now and he's not happy about this portrayal of his wife, naked. He sets a police unit the job of fixing Hugh. Bruised and battered, Hugh defies them all as he and Davina discover what they really mean to each other. Enter a whimsical world where romantic ideals meet sheer idiocy, featuring a biker called Midden, a tramp called The Shame, a gang leader called Slab and a stunning, gorgeous, redhead called The Stormer.
