Ava Miles

Ava Miles writes family-centered romance in which business decisions, inherited expectations, and community ties complicate the promise of a new beginning. A Forever of Orange Blossoms is the fifth Merriams novel. It brings together Flynn Merriam, approaching thirty and questioning his glamorous life, and Annie Loudermilk, a single mother whose postponed ambitions have become a small skincare company. His attempt to acquire her business creates both opportunity and conflict, with family members and the Merriam matchmakers influencing the outcome. A Breath of Jasmine closes the six-book series by returning to Quinn Merriam and Francesca Maroun, former graduate-school partners separated by world events and family responsibilities. Quinn’s leadership of the troubled family company does not erase the relationship he still considers defining. Miles links the romances through the Merriam belief in recognizing a soulmate, but each book tests that certainty against practical choices. The paired flower titles suit stories concerned with businesses, memory, and hopes that have survived long interruption rather than vanished.
