Five years later, Ben returns home to Hazard, Kentucky, ready to bury the past. Ainsley returns too, to bury her estranged mother and close the door on the town that broke her. Neither expects to find the other waiting.
What starts as a temporary impulse under the summer sky quickly deepens into something neither can control. But a true second chance won't survive on silence. To move forward, they must finally confront the truth of what tore them apart—and who they've become since.
Dragonfly Creek is a dual-POV, first-love, second-chance summer romance set in a small town with a meddling family that means well, layered with the Appalachian folk magic that runs quietly beneath the Firefly Hollow Essentials universe.
