The Ava sub-series follows Ava Butler through three novels published in 2017 and 2018 — Bombshell, Stunner, and Knockout — forming a tight trilogy within the What Doesn’t Kill You world. The modeling world gives the sub-series a distinct setting and a specific type of danger: an industry built on appearance and competition, where violence can hide behind glamour.

Like the other What Doesn’t Kill You sub-series, the Ava books pair crime plotting with a romantic thread. The rapid publication of all three in a short window means they read as a cohesive unit, and readers who enjoy the first will want to continue immediately.
