Dragonfly Creek (Firefly Hollow series Book 3)
Book Three in the Firefly Hollow series.
When Ben Campbell returns home to Hazard, Kentucky after a five-year absence, the last person he's expecting to run into is the girl who broke his heart - the girl who left town and married someone else. He's done his best to move on, but he knows he's only been pretending. Determined to exorcise Ainsley’s ghost for good, he approaches the young widow with an offer for a steamy liaison - only to find himself soundly rejected.
Ainsley Brewer Scott carries a lot of weight on her shoulders, weight that has left deep emotional and physical scars. Five years ago, her dreams of an everlasting love with Ben were destroyed by her malicious, conniving mother. Back in town to wrap up the woman's estate, Ainsley's world is turned upside down when she runs into Ben. When he propositions her, he lights a match to her temper, but his offer also rekindles the burning attraction between them. To their mutual dismay, they discover the pull is just as strong now as what they shared before.
When the truth behind Ainsley's leaving comes out, the long-held secrets destroy the fragile trust she and Ben have started to build, leaving them to decide to either walk away from each other for the second - and last - time or stand together and fight for their future.
