The Leverage series is an exploration of becoming across three stages of awakening.

Each book examines a different relationship to love, autonomy, and choice:

• Without Leverage asks what happens when agency is given away.

• Intentional Leverage explores the moment self-authorship is consciously reclaimed.

• Earned Leverage reveals what it means to live—and love—from a place of embodied authority.

At its core, the series is about evolution: from awareness, to strategy, to integration. These stories are not about chasing love or proving worth. They are about becoming someone who no longer needs to bargain for either.

The Leverage series centers intelligent, ambitious women - women who think deeply, feel fully, and choose relationships that expand rather than contain them.

It honors sensuality that is deliberate, intimacy that is mutual, and permanence that is chosen with intention.

Through intimate, character-driven novels, I explore what happens when women stop negotiating their worth - and start living it with quiet confidence to stay once it is found.

If these themes speak to you, the Leverage series begins with Without Leverage - and unfolds from there.

Ava Jewel is a novelist exploring intimacy, choice and emotional authority through stories of emotional intelligence and earned commitment.

Her work is grounded in the belief that strength deepens when it is chosen - and love endures when it is not rushed.
