As for her old crush on Sawyer Evans? She was just a kid with a reckless infatuation; she’s an adult with both feet on the ground now. Sawyer is a longtime family friend and the man she unconsciously measured everyone else against—a crush that culminated in an embarrassing mistake at nineteen that sent her running for years.
That belief holds up until approximately two seconds after she sees him again.
Sawyer knows Sydney should be off-limits. He's too close to her 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 teenager who kissed him in a parking lot years ago—and the instant pull between them makes his rules impossible to keep, especially when the only person insisting on distance is Sawyer himself.
Stormking Road is the seventh book in the Firefly Hollow Essentials series, a heartwarming small-town Southern family saga with a meddling family that means well and Appalachian folk magic running quietly underneath. Told in dual POV, it's an age-gap workplace romance between a wounded, damaged hero and a strong heroine returning home, hoping she's over her secret crush on the man who was always off-limits—a longtime family friend who is now, inconveniently, her boss.
