Breaking the Pattern: A slow-burn plus-size contemporary romance set in the high-fashion world where courage, creativity, and connection redefine beau
In the heart of Los Angeles, designer Ava Morales has built her world from thread and determination. As the creative force behind a boutique that caters to every bride, every curve, and every impossible deadline, she's learned to keep her emotions hemmed tight. Confidence is easy when it's for someone else's reflection-harder when it's your own.
Enter Julian West, the pragmatic investor with too-perfect posture and too many opinions about business strategy. When he steps into her studio, their chemistry is undeniable-and so is the clash between her artistry and his numbers. What begins as tension between partners quickly turns into something neither can ignore: respect, curiosity, and an attraction that refuses to stay in the background.
But as their collaboration deepens, Ava's fears unravel. Years of working behind the scenes have taught her to disappear so others can shine. Julian sees the opposite-her brilliance, her fire, the way her designs breathe life into those who wear them. And when fame and vulnerability collide, Ava must decide whether she can finally stand in the spotlight she's created for everyone else.
Breaking the Pattern is a tender, slow-burn BBW romance about two people learning that love doesn't demand transformation-it invites truth. Between late-night fittings, heated arguments, and laughter that lingers like perfume, Ava and Julian discover that real beauty isn't stitched into perfection. It's handmade, imperfect, and entirely human.
For readers of emotionally rich, body-positive romances that celebrate ambition and intimacy, this story delivers humor, longing, and the quiet triumph of a woman claiming her worth-thread by thread, choice by choice, love by love.
