Stormking Road

Firefly Hollow Essentials - Book Seven

Sydney Gibson doesn't need a place to hide anymore. She already tried that once—came home after her divorce, licked her wounds, then rebuilt her life three states away in Savannah. This time, coming home to Hazard is a choice, not a retreat. She's ready for a fresh start.

As for her old crush on Sawyer Evans? She was just a kid with a reckless infatuation back then; she’s an adult with both feet on the ground now. He's a longtime family friend, a fixture at every gathering for as long as she can remember, and the man she unconsciously measured everyone else against—culminating in an encounter when she was nineteen that was so embarrassing it sent her running and kept her away for years.

That belief holds up until approximately two seconds after she sees him again.

Sawyer Evans knows Sydney Gibson should be off-limits: he's too close to the family, there's too much history, and he has too much to lose. But the self-possessed woman standing in front of him bears little resemblance to the impetuous teenager who kissed him in a parking lot in broad daylight—and the instant, undeniable pull between them makes his old rules impossible to defend, especially when the only person insisting they keep their distance is Sawyer himself.

Working side by side leaves them no room to hide from the heat neither of them expected, and every reason Sawyer has for staying away starts looking smaller by the day. As the past keeps surfacing and the present keeps insisting, Sydney and Sawyer will have to decide whether the relationship they've both been resisting is the one thing worth risking it all for.

Stormking Road is the seventh book in the Firefly Hollow Essentials series, an Appalachian family saga.
