Flynn Merriam has it all: a glamourous 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. "Ava's story is witty and charming."
