What is it about a first encounter that sets a heartbeat racing, spreads goosebumps of anticipation shivering across skin, and sets butterflies fluttering through a chest? 

Is it the thrill of the unknown, or is it the delicious excitement of peeling back the layers of a person one by one, revelling in each new discovery. 

What makes us so attracted to another person? Is it the clean cut of a jawline, the alluring curve of a smile, the twinkle of mischief in captivating eyes? Or is it something unseen. The whiff of a musky perfume or freshly laundered linen, a quick wit and an educated mind, an air of confidence, or an as yet undefinable characteristic that promises more? 

Whatever your vice, or combination thereof, there's no denying that the anticipation of a first encounter and the giddy after effect it has on our brain chemistry, is one of life's most tantalising treats. So treat yourself to the guilty pleasure of being a voyeur into this deliciously devilish collection of First Encounters.

"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in all the madness? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that left her at loss of what to do! As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system--can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover? [*Wattpad Editor's Pick 2018*] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]] Readers say: "This had me laughing so loud that my sister came to check up on me to see if I'm OK!!!" "...the new Bridget Jones, a working woman's take on the digital age." About the Author: Working mother, annoying vegetarian and red wine enthusiast, Renee lives in Toronto with her flawed but wonderful family (seriously, who left socks on the kitchen counter?) in a flawed but wonderful house (what *is* that smell in the basement?).
