Dakota Carson is highly driven to succeed on a professional level, and the latest opportunity presented to her seems like the right chance to dramatically improve the status of her image specialist company. Belle Cove Resorts is the perfect venue to accelerate her dream of rising to a better status as a business owner—perfect in every regard except for one. Logan Montague, the equally business-minded CEO of his family’s supremely successful resort chain, is aligned to become Dakota’s new professional partner, but Dakota and Logan have a messy history that must be addressed before moving forward in the spirit of what is mutually beneficial becomes possible. Years prior, Logan set aside everything but the family business to excel as an entrepreneur, and that includes the woman he loved—Dakota. Now their paths cross again, but this time Logan is determined to make it more personal than professional. Winning back Dakota’s heart seems like a step in the right direction in Logan’s mind, and his matchmaking Aunt Jeannie could not agree more. He is determined not to fail at this second chance for personal fulfillment, but can she regain trust for the man who let go of what they had for his own gain? Destiny is calling, and it looks like Love by Design .
