Author Motivation: When I sat down to write my series I created characters I liked. I wanted the women to be smart, have their heads on strait, be part of a group of supportive friends, and have a positive relationship with their family. I wanted the guys to be the men you really want to meet -- good guys, who work hard, and treat women with respect. For Juliette, I depart from the typical romance plot where the two main characters are absorbed with each other and have a misunderstanding during the mid point lull. Instead I take you through Juliette's day. Juliette works as an engineer at a Silicon Valley start-up and is busy with her strong group of friends. Initially I alternate chapters with four distinct threads - work, roommate, friends, and men. When Juliette chooses her man, the book becomes a more traditional romance novel.

Some nice guys weren't always so nice. Nate's a guy who prides himself on his no commitment lifestyle. He's a master at zeroing in on the hottest women for a quick and easy hookup, making a point of never spending the night. Until he runs into a women that makes him want more than a one night stand. After she blows his heart away he starts reevaluating his choices. Now it's Nate's turn. Following Nate from high school through his twenties we learn that this wonderful man has a lot of history that would surprise Juliette if she ever found out. Enjoy their story from Nate's point of view. This is a stand-alone book, but much more fun if you've read The Juliette Trilogy
