About this ebook
Maxime wasn't always a worrywart…
Meet Young MAXIME, the prequel
Following one's gut instincts may not be enough…
Maxime does not believe in fate and has his doubts about serendipity.
He has learned, growing up in the shadow of an older brother and father, not to throw matters to the four corners of the wind to fend for themselves.
Maxime lives in Switzerland where he bumps into Donna Dykeman, a visiting exchange student. Within minutes of meeting her, he is branded as an opportunistic chauvinist.
Maxime, intrigued by the spirited young lady, realizes he has merely two months to prove to her not all Swiss men are arrogant asses.
