Minerva Hana knows what it feels like to watch one dream fall apart. She refuses to let it happen twice.Four years after her professional ballet career came to an unexpected end, Min has graduated from the London School of Fashion and set her sights on a new future: becoming a designer at one of London’s most sought-after fashion houses.She has a plan. Romance isn't part of it.Then a misplaced spur at Horse Guards Parade brings her face-to-face with Sam Baker, a handsome Household Cavalry soldier who definitely wasn't in her carefully drawn-out future.Sam is disciplined, thoughtful, and devoted to a military career that leaves little room for anything unexpected. Min is equally determined to prove herself in the competitive fashion world. Neither has much time to spare, but one date quickly leads to another—and staying focused on their separate plans becomes harder than either expected.Then Min is offered the opportunity of a lifetime: designing a high-profile wedding gown for the very fashion designer she has idolized for years.As her career begins moving faster than she ever imagined, Sam becomes the steady presence she didn't know she needed. And the more they support each other's dreams, the harder it becomes to imagine chasing them apart.Min has already learned that life rarely follows the original sketch.Maybe love was always meant to be part of the design.Designs on Love is a sweet, closed-door contemporary romantic comedy featuring a fashion designer heroine, a stoic soldier with a soft side, opposites attract, found family, and a swoony London romance. It is Book 1 in the Friends of the Unexpected Royals series and can be read as a standalone.
