Product Description
Bitter disillusionment in the past has caused Dena Bailey to seek solace in her work to the extent of making it her first priority. She works long hours and goes beyond the call of duty to earn the elusive brass ring, and nothing has ever distracted her; that, is until she meets the man upstairs, Quinn Sterling. While marriage and children have never been entirely ruled out of her plans, her interest in Quinn has entirely disrupted her vision of the future.
Tired of dating women who are drawn to his fame as a professional hockey player, Quinn finds Dena's disinterest in the sport refreshing. For the first time, he experiences what it means to be appreciated for one's own merits. Their agreement to engage in a lighthearted affair, however, meets profound challenges as Quinn finds himself falling hard. Further, a car accident leaves him with the care of two children.
Author Paula Bauer captures a story that easily could be real with rich prose and gentle understanding in THE MAN UPSTAIRS. Indeed, Bauer creates a marvelously complex heroine. She has become overly preoccupied with work, clearing illustrating her profound need for stability and rewards for her efforts. Consequently, Dena is ill equipped for falling in love, with our without children involved. She longs for deep friendships and connections to other people, yet she does not know how to establish and maintain them. Nevertheless, Quinn refuses to let her put him off, but his own challenges escalate with the arrival of children. The result is a marvelous character driven romance that readers will find entrancing. THE MAN UPSTAIRS comes highly recommended.
