Published by Ava on November 17, 2025

Now available on Amazon here:

He was my first love. My biggest heartbreak. And the father of the son he doesn’t know exists.

NOVA: Coming back to Willow Summit was supposed to be simple – sell my parents’ house, get back on my feet, and return to the city.
What I didn’t plan for was getting tangled up again withBeckett Mercer – the man I loved and left six years ago.
The man who doesn’t know he has a five-year-old son.

I had good reasons for leaving. But now Beckett’s seeing himself in our son Aidan’s face – and there’s no more hiding. And he’s looking at me like I’m the one who got away… and he’s not letting it happen again.

I can’t stay. I have a life waiting for me.
But leaving means walking away from the family we could finally become.

BECKETT: The day I found out Nova was back – with a kid who looks just like me – my world imploded.
Six years. She kept my son from me for six years.

I should be furious. And I am.
But one look at Aidan – at our son – and all I can think about is everything I’ve missed.
And everything I want to give him now: my name, my legacy, a place in my family’s dynasty.

Nova thinks she needs independence and stability.
I just have to prove I’m not the man I used to be.
Because this time, I’m not losing my family without a fight.

A small-town, second-chance romance about secrets, forgiveness, and a love strong enough to rewrite the past.
Secret baby. Close-knit brothers. A forever worth fighting for.

Then Aria Thorne walks into my office, all gorgeous curves and calculated smiles – sent to audit our business operations. She’s brilliant, beautiful, and trouble I can’t resist.
She understands my craft like she was born for it. And when she looks at me, it feels like she sees the man, not the family name.
I thought I could keep it professional. I was wrong.

ARIA: I never wanted to lie. But when my mother’s medical bills started piling up, I made an impossible choice – take money to steal the Mercer family’s secret recipes.
It was supposed to be simple: get in, get the data, get out.
Then I met Finn Mercer.
Working beside him, tasting his bourbon, falling into his bed – it stopped being a job and became everything I’ve ever wanted.
But now the truth is out. I’ve betrayed the man I love and destroyed the family that took me in.
But I’ll fight to make it right. Even if it costs me everything.

A story of forbidden love, fierce loyalty, and redemption in the heart of the mountains with a guaranteed HEA. This book is part of a series but could be read as a standalone. You can read it on your lunch or commute, but you might blush a little.

Published by Ava on November 3, 2025

A New Series – Willow Summit: The Whiskey Brothers begins now with Falling for the Whiskey Heir, available on Amazon here.

She thought it was just research. He thought she was just passing through. They were both wrong.

SIMONE: I came to Willow Summit to study bourbon and legacy, but I didn’t expect him. Cooper Mercer is all hard muscle, stubborn pride, and slow, sexy drawl. He’s the kind of man who smells like oak and danger and makes me forget why I came here in the first place.

He thinks I’m an outsider with a notebook and an exit plan. But every time he brushes past me, every time his rough hands linger just a second too long, I know I’m already in deep.

I came for the story. I found the man I can’t walk away from.

COOPER: Dr. Simone Harris showed up at my distillery with a smile too sweet and eyes that see straight through me. She says she wants to write about my family’s legacy, but all I can think about is the way she tastes when she kisses me back.

I’ve already lost one woman to the world beyond these mountains. I swore I’d never risk my heart again. (Not to mention my daughter’s.)

But when an old feud with the Stevens family threatens everything I’ve built, Simone’s the one beside me – strong, brilliant, and mine if I’m man enough to fight for her.

She’s fire in my arms and forever in my bones.

And this time, I’m not letting go.

Set in the world of Willow Summit, where whiskey burns smooth, grudges run deep, and love always finds its way home. A steamy, small-town, mountain romance with a curvy heroine, grumpy alpha male, irresistible instalove, and a guaranteed HEA. Part of a series, but could be read as a standalone.

Published by Ava on October 16, 2025

The Handyman’s Bargain is available on Amazon now here.

One grumpy handyman. One sunshine heiress. Zero chance they’ll keep it “strictly business.”

CHLOE: I came to Ashfall Bluff to prove I’m not a failure. One rundown cabin, one impossible dream, and exactly zero clue what I’m doing. When the grumpy, gorgeous handyman shows up to fix my plumbing disaster, I expect judgment – not a proposal that changes everything.

His skills. My help with his daughter. A summer-long barter that’s supposed to be strictly business.

But watching Ben Carter work with those capable hands, seeing the way he loves his little girl, feeling the heat in his gaze when he thinks I’m not looking? This arrangement is getting dangerously complicated.

BEN: The last thing I need is a city girl with designer jeans and zero survival skills. But my daughter takes one look at Chloe Sterling and decides she’s ours to keep. And when Chloe smiles at me like I’m more than just the town handyman? I start to think Lily might be right.

Our deal is simple. Professional. Temporary. At least, it was – until I kissed her. Until she fit in my arms like she was made for me. Until I started imagining a future I swore I’d never want again.

Now her family wants to drag her back home, the town wants to crush her dream, and I’m realizing I’ll fight anyone who tries to take her away.

Because some bargains aren’t meant to be temporary. Some are worth keeping forever.

A scorching small-town romance with a grumpy single dad, a sunshine heiress, forced proximity, and enough heat to melt a mountain. Dual POV. Guaranteed HEA.

This title is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone as well. You can probably read it over your lunch break or commute, but you might blush a bit.

Now available on Amazon here.

A wounded dog. A grumpy vet. A lawyer on the run. And one chance to heal more than just broken hearts.

Eva: I came to hide from my imploded career. The last thing I expected in this tiny mountain town was a gorgeous, grumpy veterinarian who can wrestle cattle and make my heart race in equal measure.

David: I swore off city women after the last one left me for the bright lights. So when a sharp-tongued lawyer in designer boots storms into my clinic, I know she’s trouble. The kind I can’t resist.

One emergency sheep delivery. One cattle crisis. And suddenly we’re not exactly enemies. We’re saving lives together and falling hard.

But when the city calls with everything Eva fought for, we both have a choice to make: guard our broken hearts, or risk everything on a love neither of us saw coming.

A cozy, steamy small-town enemies to lovers romance full of heart, heat, and unexpected second chances.

This short read is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. You can probably devour it on your lunch break if you have a generous boss, but you might blush a little.

Melody Archer came to Ashfall Bluff with a new name and a simple plan – keep her head down, start over, and finally feel safe. But safety shatters fast when shadows from her past find her again.

RYAN: My car died in the middle of nowhere, and my rescuer is every bad boy fantasy come to life – Brent Quinn – tattooed, brooding, and completely unimpressed by my online fame. I came to Ashfall Bluff chasing content. What I found was trouble with a wicked smile and arms I can’t stop staring at.

He thinks I’m just another shallow influencer, and maybe he’s right. But when I try to turn him into my next viral story, I cross a line that might cost me everything.

BRENT: I moved to Ashfall Bluff to escape the noise. To put my past behind me. The last thing I need is some city girl with a camera stirring up chaos. Ryan Tyler is loud, messy, and determined to make me her next project.

I’m happy to announce that Making the Mountain Man is now available on Amazon here. It is a new series (Ashfall Bluff), which is a neighboring town to Willow Summit.

A Steamy, Small-Town Enemies-To-Lovers Romance With A Grumpy City Hero Who Learns What It Means To Become A Mountain Man Because Of A Fierce, Curvy Heroine.

Caleb:

I came to Ashfall Bluff to make a deal, not to get tangled up with a woman who sees right through me. The land is prime. The money is good. And I don’t care if the locals glare at me like I’m the villain.
Except… Emily Erickson.
She’s fire and stubbornness wrapped in curves that make it hard to remember why I’m here. She fights me at every turn, and I should hate it. Instead, I can’t stay away.

Emily:

I’ve spent my whole life protecting these mountains. Developers like Caleb Miller are everything I despise – slick suits, big promises, and plans that carve up land that isn’t theirs.
But Caleb is… complicated. He’s grumpy, impossible, and far too attractive for my own good. And when I catch glimpses of the man beneath the hard edges, I start to wonder if there’s more to him than profits and ambition.
The question is: Can I trust him with my heart and my home?

💜 A short, steamy, opposites-attract romance with a fierce local heroine, a grumpy outsider who discovers what really matters, and a forever kind of love. No cheating, no cliffhangers, guaranteed HEA.
