Synopsis:
Seventeen years ago, Ava Langford was left alone and pregnant at nineteen—heartbroken, terrified, and determined to build a beautiful life for the tiny boy in her arms. What she didn’t expect was Ray. Her best friend. Her safe place. The quiet, unwavering constant who held her hand through every tantrum, report card, and 3AM fever. He wasn’t Sebastian’s father—but in every way that mattered, he became exactly that.
Now, Sebastian is a teenager with sharp comebacks and a hidden soft heart, Ava is still her over-affectionate, dramatic, loving self, and Ray—well, Ray’s been in love with her since the moment she held that baby in her arms.
But parenting a teenager isn't for the weak. Between school proposals, sudden kisses, teenage attitude, Ava's fear of abandonment, and Ray’s inability to say the one thing he’s been dying to, this little found family is on the edge of some big changes.
And when Sebastian’s estranged biological father suddenly returns, old wounds reopen. Ava finds herself caught between past trauma and present love, while Sebastian must decide what father truly means—and who gets to be called family.
Funny, emotional, messy, and full of tender chaos,Lavender Skies is a story about the family you make, the love that waits quietly for years, and how sometimes the strongest kind of bravery… is letting yourself be loved back.
