Sometimes, love is the missing ingredient to healing your pain. This is the story of Avery Waylen and Deacon Owens in Love in Beverly Mills: Love You, Finally.

Avery Waylen is a beautiful, smart, and accomplished attorney with amazing parents and siblings. She's had the perfect life, or so it seems. She’s a black woman adopted by a loving white family, but growing up, there wasn’t enough love in the world that could fill the void of wanting to be loved by her birth mother.

From childhood to adulthood, the void within Avery continues to grow and manifests into fears of rejection and abandonment, but most notably, Avery believed that she was never quite good enough. However, her best friend, Deacon Owens, is always present to remind her that she deserves all that is good and every bit of love that life has to offer.

Deacon loves hard. He loves passionately just like his mom who struggled to receive that love in return from his father. Therefore, as a young boy, Deacon swore to treat the love of his life, like she deserved to be treated – like his mom deserved to be treated. He stands by Avery’s side even when she pushes him away because his mother once told him that love isn’t worth it, if you don’t have to work for it.

Avery and Deacon meet in elementary school and continue their close friendship as adults. He helps her combat her belief that she isn’t good enough, and he’s also the first person to comfort her through every traumatic experience she’s faced in life. She trusts him the most and he loves her the most.

Avery and Deacon's journey from best friends to lovers is, at times, tumultuous, frustrating, and even traumatic. However, Deacon is committed to loving Avery, no matter what.

This is a Southern love story based in Beverly Mills, Georgia – a rustic beach town that centers around family, friends, love, and community. Fall in love with characters who support one another and lift each other up, but also dish out tough love and don't hold back from the truth. And the truth is, love isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely worth it for Avery Waylen and Deacon Owens.

If you love to read heavy, emotionally compelling romance novels with a spicy twist then this beautifully written love story will warm your heart and keep you engaged. Be prepared to laugh, smile, cry, take breaks, get angry, and fall in love with the bond between Avery Waylen and Deacon Owen as they comfort one another through good, bad, and ugly times.","format",{"_19":101,"_79":102,"_103":104,"_105":45},"publisher","page_count","duration","published_date","pub_date","June 1","isbn","asin","B0FSK12ZY3","hex_code","language","English","purchase_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/2286i/7b0dee96-5242-44c7-94b3-609b8b9e3d36.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F2286i%2F7b0dee96-5242-44c7-94b3-609b8b9e3d36.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_94":95,"_96":97},"tags",[76,77],{"_19":28,"_79":90,"_81":91,"_50":-5,"_48":92,"_84":93,"_86":45,"_88":45,"_89":26},{"_19":78,"_79":80,"_81":82,"_50":-5,"_48":83,"_84":85,"_86":87,"_88":45,"_89":26},31,"name","Friends to Lovers","category","trope","friends-to-lovers","url","/tropes/friends-to-lovers","selectable",true,"sensitive","position","Romance","genre","romance","/genres/romance","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_98":26,"_99":26,"_100":26},"yes","no","maybe",5,"Unknown Binding","type","print","audio","Love in Beverly Mills","71b68afc-bb50-4ac7-9037-1b453c1b803d","order",{"_19":110,"_79":111,"_48":112,"_113":-5,"_114":-5,"_115":116,"_117":118,"_119":87},"21f572d7-185f-4deb-bf8a-e6f29860bd8b","Lauren Lacey","184-lauren-lacey","biography","image","books_count",11,"roles",[120],"in_catalog","author","isLoggedIn",["P",122],"result","seo",{"_13":132,"_133":134,"_50":135,"_136":137,"_84":138,"_139":140,"_141":142},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_156":45,"_157":45},"jsonLd",{"_143":144,"_145":146,"_79":132,"_147":148,"_149":150,"_84":138},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[151,152,153,154,155],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
