The By Design series is Nancy Ann Healy’s longest work at 18 books. It begins with a construction and design business setting but quickly expands into politics, following characters from local life all the way to the White House. Campaign Trail, Election Day, and Commander in Chief mark the political arc of the series, and later entries like Situation Room and State of the Union continue the story at the highest levels of government.
The series has been running since 2015 and combines romance with political drama in a way that gives it more plot structure than a typical romance series. Readers who enjoy long-running character arcs with real stakes beyond the love story will find a lot of material here.
