Firefly Hollow Generations

Eli Campbell nearly died believing he'd never get the chance to make things right. He survived—but the guilt didn't go anywhere. Years of choices that hurt the people he loves most, especially his brother, sit heavy on him as he comes home to Hazard, unsure if forgiveness is even his to ask for.

He isn't looking for anything else. He's just trying to walk again, literally—and figure out how to earn back his family's trust now that he's home.

Then he meets Haley Buchanan, his physical therapist, and something in him that's been closed off for a long time cracks open. She's sharp, warm, funny when he least expects it, and entirely unbothered by his bad days. For the first time since he came home, Eli feels like more than the sum of his past mistakes.

Just as they're building something real, the past Eli thought he'd outrun resurfaces—old rumors, old wounds, the kind of history that doesn't stay buried. And Eli will have to prove to the people he hurt that the man they remember isn't the man standing in front of them.

Snapdragon Way is the first book in the Firefly Hollow Generations series, a heartwarming small-town Southern family saga with a meddling family that means well and Appalachian folk magic running underneath it all. Told in dual POV, it's a second-chance romance with redemption at its heart—a wounded, damaged hero, estranged from his family, returning to his hometown to heal, and the physical therapist who sees the man he has already become.
