About the Author
Andrea Metta writes contemporary romance about capable adults who discover that emotional honesty is often harder than the work they do for a living.
The Merge Conflict series follows people building technology together inside a growing company, where professional competence collides with slow-burn attraction, workplace tension, and the complicated reality of caring about the people you work with.
The Climb steps outside the office — a quieter, deeper story about two people in their fifties navigating second chances, independence, and what it costs to need someone again.
These stories focus on thoughtful characters, quiet chemistry, and relationships that unfold through conversation, trust, and the occasional difficult truth.
Andrea lives in Canada and enjoys hiking, writing code, and unwinding with a good glass of wine after a long day.

He rebuilt networks for a living. Now he's rebuilding his life.
Three years after his wife's death, Leo Metta is starting over in Maple Ridge, BC — living carefully, spending cautiously, and sleeping in a van he doesn't talk about. Marlie DuPoint spent thirty years being the steady one — as a doctor, a wife, a mother. Newly divorced and newly retired, she owns her condo, walks her dog every morning, and tells herself she likes the quiet.
Then a gym card becomes a conversation. A wool coat becomes an invitation. And Friday night dinner becomes something neither of them planned.
A deeply romantic novel about second chances — and what it costs to choose love when independence feels safer.

We spend more waking hours at work than anywhere else. Of course that's where the complicated feelings happen. Fiction that pretends otherwise is the one telling lies.

Competence is attractive. It's also one of the hardest things to write convincingly — because you have to actually understand what they're doing.
