Product: Under a Firefly Moon (Firefly Lake Book 1)
Description: An Amazon Best of the Year Selection
Blue Hollow Falls may be a small Blue Ridge Mountain town, but it’s big on love—and second chances . . .

When former barrel racer Cheyenne McCafferty left the circuit, she left her past behind too. Now, as part owner of Lavender Blue farm, she’s content rescuing and rehabbing horses, and growing a new business. She’s only got one regret: letting go of Wyatt Reed. When he professed his love, she was too young and foolish to know her heart. After that he disappeared. But when his beloved horse turns up on the auction block, Chey makes a bid and wins more than she bargained for . . .

Chey believed she was ready to face Wyatt again, to explain herself. But seeing the man he’s become, she’s unsure. Gone is the quiet, gentle boy she knew. In his place is a rugged, confident adventurer who’s seen the world. Yet the longer Wyatt sticks around, the clearer it is that the feelings of their youth aren’t so easily dismissed now that they’re adults. In fact, the timing may be just right to make the dreams they’ve shared under a firefly moon come true . . .

London, Kentucky
1872
Left with no choice but to flee her home, Abigail Muncy arrives on the stagecoach weary and not hoping to find anything more than a quiet place to rest her head for a few nights before moving on.

As soon as he meets his charming new neighbor, his heart sits up and takes notice.

Product: Kathy (Firefly Hollow Series Book 10)
Description: Life changed forever for Kathy Browning one tragic, fateful day in 1960 when her husband murdered their children, another man, and himself in front of her. Three years later, she’s battling serious depression, still trying to pick up enough shattered pieces of what’s left to continue living. She has all but given up when Fate intervenes again, this time in the form of one Charles Kelly. Full of anger, grief, and pain, Kathy’s less than appreciative of his interference, and she doesn’t hesitate to let him know just that.
As for Charles, he’s been keeping an eye on Kathy for months now ever since a chance meeting at a dinner party. Intrigued by what he sees and what he suspects—that there’s more to Kathy than she shows the world—he’s drawn to her intellectually, emotionally, and physically, and he’s determined to learn more about her. Aware of snippets of her tragic past, it isn’t until he happens across her in a life-threatening situation of her own making that he realizes just how deep her wounds go. All he can hope to do is help her see another path to the future.
Kathy is the tenth book in the Firefly Hollow series, though it takes place chronologically after book one (Firefly Hollow). It is the story of a severely abused and traumatized woman who is struggling to hold on to life, and it contains detailed references to the abuse and violence she suffered at the hands of her husband. There are also scenes of a consensual sexual nature between the two main characters. It’s a story of hope and redemption, but it does tackle very dark subjects, so reader discretion is strongly advised.

Product: Stardust Valley (Firefly Hollow Series Book 9)
Description: Book Nine in the Firefly Hollow Series.
This is Noah's story. He has loved Sophie since he was a seventeen-year-old kid, but thanks to a manipulative troublemaker, and because he's a stubborn Campbell man (or so his female relatives keep telling him), it takes him a while to figure out his feelings and do something about them. Like more than ten years. Also, did I mention that he's an introvert who happens to be a medium? Who comes from a long line of people with abilities that "normal" folks don't have, like shape-shifting? Yeah, there's that complication.
Then there's Sophie. She's been beat up pretty harshly by life through the years, including the crushing heartbreak that came about during Noah's feud with his brother when they were all teenagers. She's a lot less trusting than she used to be and with good reason. But she's never forgotten her feelings for Noah or been able to put them aside, no matter how much she's wanted to over the years. Now that life and circumstances have thrown them together, a clash is inevitable. A clash that starts one day with a stolen kiss and leads them both down a road they never thought they'd be traveling again.
Note: This book does contain a handful of sensual lovemaking scenes and some adult language but by no means do those elements make up the majority of the story. However, if you find such things offensive, this book probably isn’t for you. Reader discretion is advised. Stardust Valley is the ninth book in the Firefly Hollow series.

Product: Snapdragon Way (Firefly Hollow Series Book 8)
Description: Book Eight in the Firefly Hollow Series.
When Eli Campbell is discharged after an accident ends his career in the Army, he isn’t sure what kind of homecoming to expect. Shoot, he’s not even sure what kind of homecoming he deserves. He did a lot of stupid things as a teenager, and he made a lot of rash decisions that hurt several people. Regardless, he’s determined to set things right with his family, particularly his brother Noah. Then he meets Haley Buchanan, his physical therapist, and he’s turned head-over-heels. With a heart-stopping smile, a kind nature that’s like a balm for his soul, and enough sass and backbone to enchant him, she represents another example of a second chance he’d never thought to have—a second chance at love.
Haley wasn’t expecting anyone like Eli to come along, particularly not as one of her patients. She’s not prepared for the longing and need he stirs up inside her, as her life is nothing approaching simple and uncomplicated at the moment. With the weight of her elderly, invalid grandfather’s care resting on her shoulders alone, she barely has time to breathe, much less fall in love. Once the professional complications are out of the way, though, she finds herself drawn more and more to Eli, coming to rely on his stability and warmth in a way she’d never expected.
Snapdragon Way is the eighth book in the Firefly Hollow series. Fair warning—it isn’t just a romance but focuses as well on the rebuilding of the devastated relationship between two brothers, Eli and Noah. It’s about second chances and homecomings, forgiveness and hope.
