The Brewer siblings have built a billion-dollar empire, but success in business doesn't make falling in love any easier. Whether it's a marriage of convenience, an accidental Vegas wedding with your best friend's brother, or a relationship with your new assistant, each Brewer discovers that the greatest fortune in life can't be measured in dollars.

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no. Why? One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month.

I've put in too many 60-hour weeks, so when he says I have to come into the office on Saturday, I write him a scathing email telling him exactly what I think of him. I intend to save it as a draft meant for my eyes only, but to my horror, I accidentally hit "send".

Some rooms you find. This one finds you. High in the Colorado Rockies, a caretaker keeps a fifteen-room inn the way some people keep a promise: slowly, deliberately, so that someone might feel less alone inside it. Still, by Design. is a novel about the quiet architecture of coming back to yourself, told in rooms, seasons, and second cups of coffee.
