Welcome to Wild Mountain, where family is everything, secrets run deep, and true love is always worth the fight.
Millions love Ava for her small towns like Dare Valley and Dare River. She's got a new Western series waiting for you with all the things you love: second chances, big feels, quirky loveable characters, but most of all a happily ever after you won’t be able to put down.
Second chances. Small-town secrets. A cowboy who never stopped loving her.
He gave her a first kiss.
She gave him her first everything.
But when she needed wings, he chose roots…and broke both their hearts in the process.
Now Hannah’s back in Montana under false pretenses, and Ben’s twin brother has a plan: reunite the town’s most legendary couple while saving the struggling McAllister ranch. All they have to do is open a spa and rehabilitation center on Wild Mountain. Simple, right?
Except nothing is simple. Ben still looks way too tempting in a cowboy hat, she has a charming “work husband,” and the spark between them burns hotter than ever.
And not even Ben—a grumpy, stubborn single dad with a ranch to save and a heart he refuses to risk again—can put the flames out. With meddling townsfolk, an enemy ex-wife, a power-hungry billionaire, and old wounds threatening to reopen, their second chance could either heal them… or break them for good.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Small town Western romance
- Second chance at love
- Grumpy sunshine romance
- Single dad cowboy heroes
- Opposites attract
- Protective heroes
- Ranch romance
- Community meddling with heart
- Emotional, heartwarming love stories with high-stakes drama
A Special Note from Ava: The Wild Mountain series is my ode to larger-than-life couples like Claire and Jamie in Outlander and Eve and Roarke in the In Death series. I wanted to explore the happily ever after of a protective hero and an independent heroine as an established couple with domestic scenes and a heart and home vibe while becoming a family. Yes, there’s a little of my love for Little House on the Prairie and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman here too with a modern take. A spin-off series for Sanctuary Springs will feature characters you’ll fall in love with in this series in a stand-alone fashion. Bottom line: happily ever after and all the feels guaranteed.
