Divorced and mostly over it, she returns home to Hazard, Kentucky, ready to get on with her life. She wants a husband, a family. What she has is a new job with a man who didn’t want to hire her... moreThis book is a romance. It’s a man + woman = love story. Insta-love? No. Impertinence? Yes. Sex within the first few chapters?

Divorced and mostly over it, she returns home to Hazard, Kentucky, ready to get on with her life. She wants a husband, a family. What she has is a new job with a man who didn’t want to hire her. As if that weren’t mortifying enough, she has a crush on her boss, has had for years. She even kissed him when she was nineteen, but then she ran away. As for Sawyer Evans? He’s divorced, as well. Retired from the state police, he’s set up shop as a private investigator, and he’s up to his eyeballs in paperwork with no one to turn to for help. Sawyer’s way too old for Sydney--his opinion, not hers--regardless of the fact that she’s a fully grown woman whose attractiveness he can’t deny. She’s definitely no longer the surly teenager he nearly arrested twice, as much as he almost wished she was. Besides, her family would never approve, even if he and Sydney could move past his inability to have children. But then there’s this chemistry that starts burning between them. And suddenly neither of them is sure of anything anymore except their growing need for one another. *This book also contains the bonus 25-page short story “Archer’s Cat.” “Stormking Road” is the sixth book in the Firefly Hollow series, romances with paranormal elements related to Appalachian folklore.

He loves Sophie, has since he was a seventeen-year-old kid, but thanks to a manipulative troublemaker and because he's a stubborn Campbell man (or so his female relatives keep telling him), it takes him a while to figure his feelings out and do something about them. Like more than ten years. Also, did I mention that he's an introvert who happens to be a medium? Who comes from a long line of people with abilities that "normal" folks don't have, like shape-shifting? Yeah, there's that. Then there's Sophie. She's been beat up pretty harshly by life through the years, including the crushing heartbreak that came about during Noah's feud with his brother when they were all teenagers. She's a lot less trusting than she used to be and with good reason. But she's never forgotten her feelings for Noah or been able to put them aside no matter how much she's wanted to over the years. Now that life and circumstances have thrown them together, a clash is inevitable. A clash that starts one day with a stolen kiss and leads them both down a road they never thought they'd be traveling again. Note: This book does contain a handful of sensual lovemaking scenes and some adult language but by no means do those elements make up the majority of the story. However, if you find such things offensive, this book probably isn’t for you. Reader discretion is advised.
