Firefly Hollow

Owen Campbell holds himself apart from other people. Badly scarred from emotional wounds that have never healed, he doesn't expect to find true love or happiness. He remains isolated in a prison of his own making, determined to not let anyone close enough to hurt him again.
But his willpower is shaken to the core when Sarah Browning enters his world. 

The girl next door... 

Sarah Jane Browning is three years into her college degree when a call from home changes everything. Back at the family homestead in the heart of Appalachia, she's forced to reevaluate her hopes and dreams for the future.

Distraction from her heartache comes in the form of her parents' neighbor. Whispers about "odd Owen Campbell" abound in their small community, and Sarah's curiosity is aroused. When she breaks the rules and trespasses onto his land, what she finds is beyond her wildest imaginings. 

As Sarah struggles to overcome tragedy and loss, her burgeoning relationship with Owen is sorely tested. Will love conquer all, or will the secrets from Owen's past tear them apart forever?
