Publisher's Synopsis
Ava's Connection: A Tumultuous Heart is the gripping third installment in the award-winning "Ava Romance Drama Series." Set against the backdrop of World War II, this historical novel weaves steamy love, heart-wrenching grief, and a powerful tale of commitment, redemption, and the enduring strength of truth.
As war rages, Ava finds herself caught between duty, the fractures of her family, and the ghosts of her past. Her estranged daughter, Mary, uncovers the truth about her wealthy, late father and takes Ava to court to claim her inheritance. Complicating matters further, Ava's former landlord, a sinister man who exploited her vulnerability in her youth, resurfaces as a Japanese spy. Now blackmailing Ava for critical abort mechanisms for rockets, he kidnaps her young daughter, Mila, as leverage.
Torn between her country and the safety of her children, Ava must navigate a treacherous path. Her son, Trevor, a gunner's mate at D-Day, goes missing in action, further testing her resolve. Meanwhile, her best friend Caroline's mafia-connected husband entangles her in an even more dangerous ruse.
Ava's journey of resilience, courage, and sacrifice continues as she faces impossible choices to protect the secrets that could save countless soldiers or risk her life and future. Battling overwhelming odds, she confronts her past and fights for survival in a war-torn world.
Inspired by true events, Ava's Connection: A Tumultuous Heart is a poignant tale of love, loyalty, and perseverance. Fans of the series will recognize Ava's remarkable resilience, first introduced in Ava, where she faced poverty, stigma, and an affair with a wealthy, married man. This was followed by Ava Again, as she reunited with Alistar, her first love, after the fierce effects of World War I.
