Blueprint of Us

The Blueprint of Us​By MKSTORIES​In the relentless heart of New York City, Elena Vance is fighting a losing battle. A landscape architect with a fierce soul, she's the guardian of the "e;Eden Pocket"e;—a lush Brooklyn community garden that is her father's last legacy. To the neighborhood, it's a sanctuary; to the city's elite, it's prime real estate.​Julian Thorne is the "e;Skyline King,"e; a high-powered developer who views the world as a series of glass towers and profit margins. His next project is a billion-dollar monolith designed to sit exactly where Elena's sunflowers bloom. He's used to bulldozing obstacles, but he's never met anyone like Elena—a woman who meets his cold, corporate steel with raw, unyielding earth.​Forced to negotiate the fate of the land, Julian and Elena are pulled into a high-stakes game of power and attraction. From the glitter of Manhattan galas to the quiet heat of a Harlem brownstone, the friction between them ignites a fire that threatens to consume both their worlds.​As secrets from the past emerge and the board of directors prepares to strike, they must decide: Will they build a future together, or let their legacies crumble into the dirt?​A steamy, sophisticated adult romance about the things we build, the things we grow, and the love that takes root in the most unexpected places.
