Astrid parker doesn't fail - ashley herring blake

An interior designer who is never without the perfect plan learns to renovate her love life without one in this new romantic comedy by Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesnt Care .

For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable.

Ever since she broke up with her fiancé a year ago, shes been focused on her career--her friends might say shes obsessed, but she knows shes just driven.

When Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inns renovation, which will be featured on a popular HGTV show, Innside America , Astrid is thrilled.

Not only will the project distract her from her failed engagement and help her struggling business, but her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her a nod of approval.

However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, Prus granddaughter and the lead carpenter for the renovation, who despises every modern design decision Astrid makes.

Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her familys inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles.

When that determination turns into some light sabotage to ruffle Astrids perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension.

But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other evolves into something quite different, and Astrid must decide what success truly means.

Is she going to pursue the life that shes expected to lead or the one that she wants?.
