5-1005 Anna Starr just landed a coveted job at the nation’s biggest celebrity magazine and wants it all—big love and a big career as a writer in the big apple. But the klutzy, insecure small-town girl can only manage a couple of one-night stands and can’t get beyond answering phones and fetching coffee for the city’s crankiest editor. Forced to cover the opening of the city’s hottest new club as a test that her boss is sure she’ll fail, Anna stumbles into the arms of a mysterious man who sees her in a way that she has never seen herself. He sets her on a journey toward self-discovery, peeling away layers of hurt and protectiveness and opening her to a love more powerful than she could have ever imagined. But when Anna’s life implodes, she must ﬁnd her true strength in the face of the city’s most dangerous power players. She might lose it all—unless she can learn to trust herself and the power of love. “It’s like Fifty Shades of Grey meets Devil Wears Prada meets Girls! “—Wattpad fan Carrie A Featured in the Hufﬁngton Post, The Tampa News and Okay Magazine..

She hopes it’s the guilty pleasure that keeps you up all night reading. Ava lives in the suburbs of Boston with her husband, a stray goldﬁsh, an adopted cat, and her two feisty redheaded children.
