About this listen
To find love is beautiful, but to find love when you believe you don’t deserve it is powerful. 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 attorney with amazing parents and siblings. She's had the perfect life, or so it seems. She’s a black woman adopted by a 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's passionate 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.
This is a Southern Black 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.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,271
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

From the moment his eyes met hers, there was something. Time stood still, the world around them vanished, and electricity... instant electricity. Immediately, she owned him in an inexplicable way he couldn’t quite understand. He couldn't escape her. Not in his dreams. And soon, not even in his reality. He was the man that made her soar. There was nothing in the world she wanted more than him. Absolutely nothing. His touch made her levitate. When she was with him, she was limitless. He felt like home.

I shouldn't have felt this way about her. She's my brother-in-law's first love. She was forbidden fruit. Ain't shit ever been forbidden for me. I take what I want, and I want her. I shouldn't have these strong of feelings for a woman I just met. I wanted to lay every man who even thought about looking her way… including my brother-in-law. Erin was mine before she even knew it. Our paths were meant to cross, our futures to intertwine.
