Wild Irish Rose

2019

Trevor Merriam doesn’t like being ordered around by his older brother, much less to a sleepy Irish village to complete a business deal for their family company. Worse: the owner of the land he needs to buy doesn’t want him there. In fact, Becca O’Neill loathes him so much that she won’t even serve him the award-winning scones her famed Wild Irish Rose Bed and Breakfast is known for. Even worse than that (and not getting scones is bad in Trevor’s book): Becca has an ornery cat, a mischievous Irish setter, and a famous ghost all intent on making sure he fails. Then there’s the woman herself. If she weren’t so indignant about his business offer, they might have a good romance budding. Worst of all: his Uncle Arthur and Aunt Clara Hale show up from Dare Valley hoping to help him get hitched—not exactly the help he was looking for. How in the world is he going to make this deal with his heart—and his dignity—staying intact?

Love Among Lavender

2019

Millions of readers have fallen in love with Ava's bestselling books...come join the family. International Bestselling Author Ava Miles’ new family series, The Merriams, is back with a good guy trying to get his bad boy on, a good girl starting a risky perfume venture, and everyone’s favorite matchmakers. Beau Masters wants to be a bad boy. All his life, he’s been careful to be the good guy country singer, the boy-next-door, who opens doors for ladies and says “aw, shucks, ma’am.” But a decades-old secret blows the hinges off the door to his life. Everything he thought he knew has scattered to the wind, leaving him questioning who he really is. So when Caitlyn Merriam asks him to be the celebrity spokesperson for the new perfume she’s creating in far-off Provence, he swaps out his white cowboy hat for a black one and packs his bags to get away from the past. Caitlyn didn’t expect the gorgeous rockstar to join her in her quaint farmhouse in the French countryside. She figures it will only worsen her crush on him. But as Beau tries to get his bad boy on (rather unsuccessfully, in her opinion), she knows something is wrong and calls in back-up. Uncle Arthur and Aunt Clara might be bent on matchmaking these days, but they know how to straighten someone out, and Caitlyn needs all the help she can get to keep her spokesperson on track. But soon it’s not just about business, and they’re holding hands and walking the lavender fields together. Until Beau’s secret threatens to bring down her new venture and the love blossoming between them. PRAISE: "Ava's story is witty and charming."

Valley of Stars

2019

Boyd McClellan is a smooth-talking, wicked-smart, lying jerk. True, Michaela Merriam isn’t objective where her ex-boyfriend and former business partner is concerned, but she’s justified given he screwed her—and her family’s corporation—over. Except Boyd is back and dangling the discovery of a lifetime: the location of a rare flower known to cure all illness. He claims that without her, he can’t bring it back. Yeah, right. Trusting him seems stupid. She did before and look where that got her: brokenhearted and with a demotion. But she doesn't have any choice but to accompany him to the fabled Valley of Stars after her bossy Mr. President brother orders her to go to make up for her love-sick snafu. She's definitely not stupid enough to go alone. She's bringing her own chaperones: her beloved Uncle Arthur and Aunt Clara. One caveat: absolutely NO matchmaking. Trekking in the savannah isn’t like “The Lion King.” Worse, the deeper they go in, the sexier the safari becomes. Michaela doesn’t understand Boyd’s game, and he’s playing his cards close to his vest. She hopes her aunt and uncle will be able to help her figure out his endgame before anyone—namely, her—gets hurt. Because lying with him under the African night sky, she realizes that she’s falling for him all over again. But can she trust it—and him?

A Forever of Orange Blossoms

2020

Flynn Merriam has it all: a glamorous job he loves, a model in every port, and loads of siblings he adores. Turning the big 3-0 shouldn’t be a big deal, but suddenly he’s questioning everything. There’s got to be more to life than fun and diversion, right? Annie Loudermilk’s life hasn’t turned out the way she wanted. She’d planned to travel the world as a sought-after makeup artist, but when she found herself unexpectedly pregnant, everything took a different track. Now she’s a single mom, living in a small town, making and selling her own cosmetic line. But she still longs for more. At his brother’s bequest, Flynn goes to acquire Annie’s boutique skincare company. But when he meets her, the only kind of business on his mind is monkey business. Annie knows Flynn’s offer is the answer to her prayers: the shot at the life she’s always wanted. But her family doesn’t think so, and they thwart her dreams—and her powerful connection with Flynn. Fortunately, Flynn’s got an ace in the hole to help seal the deal: his Aunt Clara and Uncle Arthur. Between the three of them, he’s certain to get the company for his brother—and the girl for himself.

A Breath of Jasmine

2020

International Bestselling Author Ava Miles’ bestselling family series, The Merriams, returns for its finale with two long-lost lovers fighting for a second chance despite the odds—with everyone’s favorite matchmakers along to pave their way. Quinn recognized Francesca Maroun as his soulmate the moment he met her in grad school. Of course he did. The Merriams always recognize their soulmates instantly. It just never occurred to him that world events could drive them apart so they wouldn't end up together. Knowing there was no one else for him, Quinn devoted himself to the family business instead. Since he’s taken the reins of the troubled company, he doesn't have the time to dwell on Francesca—much. But with all his siblings falling in love and marrying, the emptiness of his life stretches before him, lonely and bleak. But when world events take a turn again, Quinn knows it's now or never. Given that Francesca has become one of the most sought-after business consultants for the Fortune 500, he contacts her to come help him steer Merriams Enterprises clear of disaster. When Quinn calls her about working with him to right his business, Francesca knows she should say no. She prides herself on what she's built, and working with Quinn offers temptations she doesn't want to feel. But she’s never healed from their shattering break-up, and perhaps this is the opportunity for closure. It's time to move on. What better way than proving to herself that they're over, once and for all? Except events take a dark turn and threaten to destroy everything they’ve both worked so hard for. Even with the Merriam family at his back (and the matchmaking trio he can always count) he’s not sure there's a solution in sight—for Merriam Enterprises or Francesca and him. An emotionally heartwarming story about true love and family that will inspire you to believe in the impossible even while the world is falling apart. Like Ireland and more feel-good stories? Ava’s bestselling family series, The Merriams, is filled with charm, second chances, and happily ever after. Millions love it. Discover why today. WILD IRISH Billionaire Trevor is sent by his family to acquire Becca’s land but finds that he wants the prickly Irish innkeeper and her menagerie of animals instead.

VALLEY OF Nature expert Michaela never expected to see her ex again, but adventurer Boyd invites her on the journey of a lifetime to find a rare healing flower, hoping for a second chance. SUNFLOWER When Billionaire Connor is mistaken for homeless by shelter director Louisa, he offers to help her, only to realize that she’s the one helping him—and showing him the way to love. A FOREVER OF ORANGE Playboy Flynn travels to America’s heartland to entice boutique skincare owner Annie to help him corporate holiday gifts, only to find she and her daughters are the greatest gifts.
