Meet Juliette Cole, she's just arrived back to Silicon Valley after three heartbreaking months following her grad school love to London. Moving in with childhood friend turned blond bombshell, she gets introduced to Cassie's crazy over the top lifestyle. Taking a job at a Silicon Valley startup, she learns that work is more than hoodies and free gourmet food. Thankfully she has The Princesses, her close group of girlfriends from college, who all went as princesses to a Halloween party their freshman year. They don't call San Jose- Man Jose for nothing. Juliette's heart is not lonely for long. Swimming before work, she sees a guy with the most amazing six pack get out of the pool. Now she has a new quest - to meet him. While playing soccer, she gets knocked out by an opposing player. The player's hot doctor brother helps her to the sidelines, then starts texting her. As things start heating up in Juliette's personal life, she now has two guys vying for her attention. Who will it be, sexy swimmer Zach or hot Dr. Nate?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.
