Nora Roberts Land
Summary
Nora Roberts gave her blessing to Ava Miles for the use of her name in both the title and the premise in this suspenseful and emotional contemporary romance. Journalist Meredith Hale's ex-husband claimed her Nora Roberts addiction gave her unrealistic expectations about marriage, and she believed him. All dreams of happily ever after - or Nora Roberts Land, as her mother calls it - went up in smoke. But when her family asks her to temporarily help their Dare Valley, Colorado newspaper, she decides it's time to change her life and prove her ex wrong. She's determined to find her own small-town Nora Roberts hero, prove that true love exists, and publish a story about her quest. War correspondent Tanner McBride has just returned stateside to work for a major newspaper, and the last thing he expects is blackmail. Yet, before he can even unpack, he's headed to Colorado. His assignment? Make his boss's ex-wife fall for him and then break her heart. Her article about discovering love à la Nora might air dirty laundry about her marriage to the media mogul, threatening his senate run. The mogul wants Meredith stopped, and he makes sure Tanner has no choice in the matter.

Wild Irish Rose
Summary
Millions of listeners have fallen in love with Ava's bestselling books...come join the family. International bestselling author Ava Miles kicks off her new series with an irreverent hero, two well-intentioned matchmakers, and a heroine as beautiful as a wild Irish rose. 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? Praise: "Ava's story is witty and charming." (Barbara Freethy number one New York Times bestselling author on Nora Roberts Land) "On par with Nicholas Sparks' love stories." (Jennifer's Corner Blog) “The constant love, and the tasteful sexual interludes, bring a sensual, dynamic tension to this appealing story.” (Publisher’s Weekly) "I am adding Ava Miles to my list of always reads like Susan Mallery, Jill Shalvis, Kristen Ashley, and Nora Roberts." (Marjay's Reading Blog) "Miles' story savvy, sense of humor, respect for her listeners, and empathy for her characters shine through...." (USA Today on The Gate to Everything)

Home Sweet Love
Summary
International best-selling author Ava Miles shares a powerful tale about the sweetness of home and falling in love for the first time. Chase Parker doesn't believe in all that gushy home sweet love stuff. Moira Hale sure as heck does. Becoming a respected corporate executive of a billionaire enterprise is more enduring, according to Chase. He lost his home in a tragedy as a kid and doesn't plan on building another one ever again. But he finds himself stuck in small town Dare Valley recovering from a skiing accident - and in a home much like the one he lost. Moira is excited to have her first real home in addition to a fantabulous new job, working in tandem with Chase's boss on a high-powered fundraiser. She and Chase don't have to worry about an office romance technically because they don't work together. And so, while Chase is recovering, they decide to "hang out" and enjoy each other. Neither anticipates how deep their feelings go. Chase certainly doesn't expect to sift through the ashes of his past in order to heal and share his memories with Moira - or find comfort in all the things he'd locked away. But soon Chase discovers how sweet home can be...all the while falling in love.

Valley of Stars
Summary
Millions have fallen in love with Ava's best-selling books. Come, join the family. International best-selling author Ava Miles’ acclaimed family series, The Merriams, returns with a fun and feel-good romantic comedy filled with second chances, everyone’s favorite matchmakers, and lots of high stakes and adventure. 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? Praise: “The constant love, and the tasteful sexual interludes, bring a sensual, dynamic tension to this appealing story.” (Publisher’s Weekly)
