An Unplanned Complication is a witty and heartfelt romance that launches the Love Across the Pond series with emotional depth and irresistible charm. Melissa Smith thought her post-grad life was set—marry Blaine Gordon and work at his father’s company. But instead of a proposal, she’s caught off guard: she’s not on a date, she’s the designated driver for his celebration—and he’s engaged to another woman. Heartbroken and unemployed, Melissa escapes to London to work for her best friend and mentor, Sloan Merrill. Sloan, emotionally guarded due to his parents’ toxic relationship, believes he’s incapable of love. When his socially ambitious parents pressure him with their matchmaking plans, he asks Melissa to pretend to be his date at a charity gala. A clumsy moment in front of the press turns their fake date into a real engagement. What begins as a relationship of convenience evolves into something much more complicated… and perhaps even genuine. It's a story of friendship, healing, and the kind of love that sneaks up when you least expect it.
