This is pretty much the life of Rhea. Yep, Rhea like the Greek goddess Rhea who was 'the mother of Gods'. But also like Rhea: the silent, flightless big birds distantly related to emus and ostriches. She doesn't know which one she identifies with more. Probably the latter.

Rhea always knew what she wanted, from the specific tailoring of outfits her Barbie wore when she was 6, to the specific Penthouse apartment she wanted that looked over at the London skyline when she was able to afford it as an adult.

As soon as she graduated university, her goals were simple: top notch career, big bucks and endless amounts Jimmy Choos to strut around in. She focussed all her efforts into this, and at just 27 years of age, she was promoted to be be the youngest ever Managing Director at leading Technology firm, Adorno Tech.

With this milestone however, let's not forget what didn't happen during this time for Rhea. Like all the forgoing of all the other priorities other people in their twenties might have...like having actual fun, partying, travelling, new adventures and experiences...dating.

Now she's 30, and at a point where all her best friends are in long-term, committed relationships, buying houses or getting married, and generally excited about life. But here she was, for the first time in her life, not knowing what she wanted to do next and how she wanted to go about her next chapter. 

This is Rhea's attempt at Navigating Life.

"You are a jerk!" I yelled. "You are impossible!" he yelled back. "You are so stupid," I told him angrily. "You are so insane," he yelled back. "You are such a bastard!" I yelled, hitting him hard. "You are a violent ass lady!" he yelled. "You are a drama queen!" I spat. "And you are a chauvinist. But, guess what? You are this Drama Queen's Chauvinist," he said and pulled me into a kiss. ********************************************* The drama queen... Daniel Kingston, the biggest casanova in town, has everything that he ever wants. His hotel business is on the rise ever since he can remember and has girls worshipping the ground he walks on. There is nothing that he wants and can not get. Tired of worrying about security breaches in his penthouse every time he is overseas for business, he jumps right in when his brother tries to convince him to let his sister-in-law's best friend stay in his house. Only problem? That woman is a headache. She is a difficult, violent, crazy female chauvinist who only a mad man can reason with. The chauvinist.... Lia Vasquez, the biggest feminist one could have known, is back in town after almost a decade. She has met too many jerks in her life to be giving any man a benefit of doubt. Hence, she immensely believes in 'Once a jerk always a jerk'. Proud in herself and a self-made doctor, the only thing she is in a desperate need of is a place to stay. But, an affordable apartment in New York City? It is a myth. So, when her best friend's husband offers her to stay in his brother's apartment as a roommate, she takes it. Only problem? The man is the definition of a casanova. He is everything she hates, and she is unable to stand him for even a second. What happens when these two total opposites meet? Will love find its way, or does destiny have other plans? **************** This is the 3rd book in the series.

When their worlds collide, sparks fly. But with these sparks comes the danger of fire. Join Olivia and Damon on their adventure as they form friendships, adventures, and maybe even love. ~ ~ ~ When the pain was finally over, I relaxed and opened my eyes, only to find Damon looking down at me, an unknown emotion clouding his eyes. I gasped in embarrassment when I realized that I'd been holding on to his arm this entire time. "Sorry!" I squeaked. He ignored me and turned around. "Jackson, you can go back to driving now." Jackson, who still hadn't spoken a word to me, nodded and silently went back to the partition. The car stopped and the two men switched spots again. Gabe and Damon kept giving each other looks. "Will someone please tell me what is going on right now?" I finally asked. Damon looked over at Gabe, who gave him a small smirk and nod. Damon looked straight at me.

"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.

So yeah, I was also part of those female drooling over him till we actually got married- "No." His voice snapped me out of my admiration town. --- What happens when Henry asks her to wait a year till they get a divorce and she finds herself actually getting attracted to him again?
