On Common Ground - Madeley, Mina Jane

. .

Résumé :
He's thin-skinned and stubborn... But she won't get kicked out without a fight! After six years in Paris, thirty-four-year-old investment banker Adrian Hensley returns to San Francisco, engagement broken and ego wounded. His hope for some peaceful solitude is shattered when he finds a stranger subletting his home without his knowledge. The pretty brunette would be the embodiment of his sexy secretary fantasy, if it weren't for her feisty temper and her tendency to get him worked up...in more ways than one. Eva Duncan, a legal secretary with a knack for finance, makes a point of remaining independent. No man will ever decide her fate-not again. When Adrian comes barging into her quiet life, old childhood wounds reopen, and she won't get kicked out of her home. At least, not without a fight. Yet, standing her ground proves to be tricky for Eva in front of a handsome, too-often-half-naked Adrian. Between her tenacity and his arrogant fa?ade, Eva and Adrian jump from one misunderstanding to the next, making their forced cohabitation as explosive as their attraction. How long will it take for them to learn that the 'right decisions' are not always those which lead to happiness?

Biographie:
I'm French, which is as good a start as any to write Romance, if you ask me. The soft twinkling lights in the winding paved streets of Paris, the warm breeze and spellbinding smell of lavender in Provence... and we invented the french kiss, didn't we?Although my rebellious teenage self preferred writing crime thrillers, the passion for literature was already there, as well as my interest for languages. I learned Spanish, Italian, and a little bit of German, but English stuck with me.As I studied english and american literature and linguistics at the University, immersing myself in the language made it impossible for me to write in French, as if my brain couldn't create in French anymore. Luckily, it kept the french romanticism, and I fell into Romance novels.Fast forward a few years of various choices, different jobs, different lives, my passion for writing romance is still intact, and it's time for me to share it with you!
