atest elease

Ash Keller prefers to keep her heart colder than the morgue. Having sworn off love after a disastrous breakup, she’s learned to thrive in her new career as a death doula. When her millionaire client, Augustus Fox, asks her to accompany him on an all-expenses paid trip to mend family ties and fulfill last wishes, she agrees.

There’s just one nail in her coffin.

Nathaniel Whitford.

I'm Ava, a contemporary romance author who currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with my husband and daughter. I’ve been writing since before I can remember, and these days, I’m all about creating dreamy universes you can swoon, cry or sigh over.

Fun facts about me: I have a coffee addiction, travel obsession, and an over reliance on love stories. And in my love stories…only strong heroines and rugged, alpha heroes allowed. If you feel the same way, we’re about to get along just great.
