Title: Dangerous to Myself
Chieti Nickerson, a gorgeous, slim professional public relations specialist for a top cosmetics company starts to doubt her sanity after quitting her fantastic job to pursue a crazy dream.
Main plot: Chieti wants to write a book and make a living as a published author. Motivation: she wants to do something that makes her feel unique and irreplaceable.
Subplot: a fun-loving muscular, mountain climbing, scuba-diving, kayaking, cycling, running, surfing adventurous love interest promises to fulfill Chieti's hopes of finding true love. Oh, and he's a great cook and he fixes her car and computer, too. (Maybe that last bit is too much.... this guy needs a flaw: he HATES cats, and Chieti loves cats)
Secondary plot: Chieti has moved far away from her friends and family, and not speaking the language in her new home does not help her make friends with the majority of people she meets.
Secondary plot 2: Chieti has decided to not have children, and as more and more of her friends do have children, the friendships become strained as Chieti has less in common with her former friends.
Will Chieti ever manage to finish her freaking book? Will she find friends who have something in common with her? Will her seriously-flawed boyfriend ever let her have two striped tiger kittens? This action-packed drama is a non-stop emotional roller-coaster with plenty of comic relief.

Don't forget the supporting cast of hundreds of trainers, coaches, physiotherapists, and shrinks.
Suggestions: After several puzzling hints reveal that Chieti is really a sleeper spy for Chinese intelligence assigned to pry out secrets from her nation's cosmetic industry--an obvious front for counter espionage.
Later, but not too much later, reveal that the love interest is really a weapons designer for his country's Minister of Defense and has built a time travel device in the basement of their home.
This will open up tremendous opportunities for multiple action-packed plots, which seem to be lacking.
Hey! Who ratted me out? The time travel weapon hasn't been released yet! Maybe Hydro noticed the power surges...
Chieti's beau is then accidentally sent back 142 years and unwittingly convinces John MacDonald to purchase Alaska and include it in the Canadian Confederation!
Only Chieti can save the day, but first she must evade Prime Minister Palin's mercenaries!
Palin's Mercenaries would have been sent into the past to keep the future from happening ... but they got drunk and ended up spending the night trying to shoot beer bottles off the hood of thier pick-up truck. Needless to say, they missed the window in the wormhole and didn't make it back into the past. They are hung over, but still very much in the present day.
Oh yeah! This book is looking good. I'll pay cold, hard cash for it as soon as it's published. The movie rights will bring in a bundle. Be sure to ask us for help on the treatment.
The scene with the drunk Palinite Commando team will be terrific. That gives me an idea: Palinettes, an all-female special forces team. I see a spinoff TV series--probably in the US only. It's not too early to lock in Cameron Diaz as team leader.
Thanks for the help, guys.
Palinettes...
