J.J. McAvoy’s standalone novels showcase her range beyond the mafia romance genre she is best known for. These four books, published between 2015 and 2018, explore different romantic scenarios and relationship dynamics without the crime family elements of her Ruthless People universe.
The collection includes Sugar Baby Beautiful, That Thing Between Eli & Gwen, Malachi and I, and Never Let Me Go. Each tells a complete love story with McAvoy’s characteristic emotional intensity and complex characters, offering readers a way into her work that does not require commitment to a longer series.
