"Someday, I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us."

When Harley Gilbert arrives it unsettles a lot of things. There is something going on, Harley thinks, because everyone wants her to stay away from the sexy, ''dangerous'', and cocky boy, Damon Salvatore. Harley promises that she will do whatever it takes to know this secret. Before she knows it, Harley is falling for Damon. Hard. And she can't stop, she's falling from an endless hole, but when she gets till the end of that hole, she'll probably get hurt. Damon is, for the first time since Katherine's death, feeling alive. Harley is a girl he wants to figure out. WHy is she so scared when him, or any other guy touches her? He's going to figure it out. But this time, without compulsion. He will...become her friend. But instead of doing this, he starts feeling more than just friendship in between them. If only she knew... If only he knew...

[NOTE: This book was written in 2010, a time of long-distance phone cards, weight-loss obsessions, and searching for a man as a solution to life's problems-what a messy time to be alive! In other words, I hope you enjoy this throwback, and while this book does end on a cliffhanger of sorts, the sequel addresses any unanswered questions (which is hopefully fair, given that book 1 is free, ya know?] An awkward family homecoming at Christmas. A humiliating public weigh-in, with two judging parents as the audience. The announcement of a deadline for arranged marriage doom. And that's just the first two chapters. In "Year of the Chick," Romi Narindra must find love before her parents find her a husband. Easy to say, less easy to live through, as this book takes you deep inside "awkward Indian living in the West." To escape her fate, Romi wades through the waters of secret-dating, where self-consciousness is at an all-time high, and experience at an all-time low. It's the sort of thing that would turn almost anyone into a man-crazy freak with romance tunnel-vision, and that's exactly what ends up happening. All the while, a lack of inspiration in her corporate job leads Romi to her love of writing, in what quickly becomes a man-quest play-by-play. From whiskey-breath scum bags to uni-brow creeps and everything in between, Romi and her wingmen come up empty time after time. And that's when she meets a fellow writer. On the Internet. So will it be arranged marriage doom, or an Internet affair that's not as creepy as "To Catch a Predator"? Time will tell in the "year of the chick," a twelve-month quest to find love. Tick-tock. --------------------------------------------- "Year of the Chick" is book one of a series, and book two is available at Amazon! LENGTH: 75,000 words or 285 pages DISCLAIMER: this book contains profanities, blunt accounts of the dating scene, and many awkward family moments. Enjoy!

"What must I pick? Obligation to my country or to my heart?" I asked myself. Scared of what would be my answer. This is a story about a princess/heiress of a European country who ran away from her kingdom in fear of not meeting her one true love and found it when she least expect it. :)
