Engineering a Love Story, (Paperback)

<p><b>At the height of the boom, ambition is easy --love is the real gamble</b></p><p>It's the year 2000--dot-coms, Bush v. Gore, and sky-high San Francisco rents. But while the country swoons with irrational exuberance, Chelsea Lefevre's life is deflating faster than a tech bubble.</p><p>She'd had everything she thought she was supposed to want: a house on Boston's North Shore, exquisite wedding china, a Waspy mother-in-law. A safe, steady marriage.</p><p>But after a mortifying slip-up, Chelsea finds herself heading into the 21st century alone. Her lifeboat? A new job advising tech execs, taken to escape the misogyny she endured as a software engineer--only to discover she has a surprising knack for spotting the next hot thing. </p><p>Determined just to stay afloat, Chelsea doesn't have time to wonder if anything beyond safe and steady is possible.</p><p>Then, on a West Coast assignment, she meets Seth Murphy, a magnetic sales executive at one of the country's hottest startups. Professional boundaries make him off-limits, but she can't resist his pull. What begins as a secret, casual affair soon jeopardizes Chelsea's career, her newfound independence--and her heart.</p><p>Witty and warm, <i>Engineering a Love Story</i> questions how much a smart woman can risk when she's the only female in the room.</p>
