Produktbeschreibung
Gifted architect Alexa Jenner has a strategic plan for architectural stardom and the ultimate goal of an independent practice. She vitally needs a prestigious new project, but her boss and mentor-with-benefits stands in the way. She grew up watching her mother pay a heavy price for love, at the loss of her freedom, her creativity and her identity- a price Alexa swore she would never pay. Now nothing will stand in the way of her success. Bruce Koczynski has success in spades, living a life of leisure after selling his software company for millions. But money can't buy the thing he was deprived of as a child, and desires most. When crisis obliges them to jointly care for their best friends' kids, a few weeks in each other's company disrupts their carefully constructed plans. Alexa can scarcely afford the time, so sharing responsibilities with her sexy arch-nemesis is the only way it works, though the arrangement may be the death of her. Will the unexpected intimacy of playing house wreak havoc on their lives? With Alexa's world turned upside-down, she must question what she really wants in life-and in love. What will she choose when the design for her future seems beyond her control? What is the price of sacrifice, when love is the prize? Making Room For You was previously published as Disruption by Design.
Autorenporträt
Always eager to fill blank pages and empty canvases with ideas swirling in her head, MaryAnn set out to write emotionally engaging stories that walk a tight rope between intelligent Women's Fiction and heart-warming Romance. A polymath who studied Fine Arts, Urbanism, Architecture and Gerontology at university on both coasts of Canada, she turned to her first love, writing stories, when she realized she could have more fun with fewer rules to follow as an author, than working in an office as an architect, or in a university as a researcher. When not writing, she meditates while hiking wooded mountain trails, does yoga and Pilates to fend off decrepitude, reads eclectically, contemplates wormholes, experiments with painting abstract expressionism, kills plants and tries not to burn dinner while solving her next plot problem. Now that her chick has flown the coop, Clarke lives on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada with her husband and cats. Although she knows she lives in Paradise, she still loves traveling the world in search of romance, art, good food and new story ideas. MaryAnn Clarke is a Chatelaine Grand Prize winner for The Art of Enchantment, first in the Life is a Journey series about young women on journeys abroad who discover themselves and fall in love while getting embroiled in someone else's problems. Her Having it All series is about professional women struggling to balance the challenge and fulfillment of their careers with their search for identity, love, family and home.
