The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Lena was her name abroad. She had established her studio before meeting Cyrus. Winnie was the designer and Nancy's friend overseas.

Luckily, she hadn't told Cyrus about it. Otherwise, her move to Ardenweald wouldn't have been peaceful. "But I can't calm down! Why didn't you tell me to pick you up at the airport? You just showed up out of the blue!"
