Athena Eyle is a young newscaster who faces all sorts of pressure to be rich and successful from life, especially from her family and overly ambitious boyfriend.
Luke Dermann is a banker who also faces pressure; albeit a different kind of pressure: to get married before he turns 40.
When the two meet, they discover a world of love they've both never experienced before. Will this last?
This is my very first story EVER, and I almost didn't want to start writing on Wattpad, but I thought Why not?
If you're reading this, I hope you give my story a try, and maybe share it with other people if you happen to like it, it would mean the world to me!
Also let me know if there's anything you do or don't like about it
Thanks! xx

A New Beginning
Introverts, I call out to you: This book is about Athena, the nerdiest of introverts. However, like everyone she was hit by the curse of falling in love. Unable to manage her feelings, she can't hold it anymore. What to do? She fell in love with her best friend, James but...her rival is only perfection itself. How to beat a perfect extrovert magnificent person? Not a single flaw compared to us, introverts. Bree is perfect. Who in the world would choose a flawed but unique introvert rather than a goddess, a princess who is just perfection? This is the first book of an amazing sequel. It will bring you back to the reality of how hard life as an introvert is. Hard but breathtaking at the same time.Each and every introvert is unique in their own way, not all of us react or act the same way but we're not as cold-hearted as people think we are. We have feelings too... Athena is exactly like a secondary character in movies or books. The kind of character we despise or that we don't pay much attention to. Bree and James are usually the protagonists. The lead character, the prince and the gay friend, who apparently has no other life than be devoted to the lead! A typical classic combination often found in romantic movies and books. This case is different, it's from a different perspective, from the point of view which is an outsider of this original combination. The feelings of this secondary character, her events, her point of views. I hope that you'll be able to allow Athena and sometimes James to express themselves. Worth a try, don't you think?
