Firefly Summer

Second chances, surprising revelations, and sweet, unexpected love go hand-in-hand in the tiny lakeside town at the heart of this charming series from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster. When Pixie Nolan first came to Bramble, Kentucky, the abandoned and desperate young single mother found hope, healing, and a fresh start. With the loving support of her best friends-Marlow Heddings and her handsome Marine husband, Cort-Pixie is now happily raising her toddler son in a cozy cottage, managing Marlow's thriving boutique, and designing firefly logo t-shirts that are selling like hotcakes. The past is behind her, and life is good. She never expected to make an electrifying connection with a summer renter, a retired Navy SEAL with his own complicated past... A rugged warrior with scars both seen and unseen, Brogan Rafferty arrives with an adorable baby girl in tow and settles into the lake house next door. And while he's a stunning addition to the gorgeous scenery, it's his caring devotion that captures Pixie's heart, the way he gently snuggles away the precious infant's cries, or swoops Pixie's delighted little boy high in the air with his tattooed, muscular arms. But it's no coincidence that Brogan has found Pixie, and his startling revelations make it clear she's the key to healing old regrets and building new dreams. And when a hostile stranger turns up with shocking accusations against Bramble's new hometown hero, Pixie must put her own fears and heartbreak away for good, and learn what it truly means to trust.

Love, forgiveness, and renewal take center stage in the haven of a quiet lakeside town when two very different women bond over one man's betrayals in this uplifting new series from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster. Marlow Heddings is starting over. She's carried the outrage of her husband Dylan's affair with a younger woman-and the expectations of his family's powerful Chicago holdings company-long enough. Now, after another devastating twist of fate, she's unapologetically moving on. Arriving in tiny Bramble, Kentucky, Marlow revels in her freedom, swapping her executive suits for sundresses . . . and scouting places to open her dream boutique. Best of all is her new residence, an adorable cottage with gorgeous lake views-and a breathtaking landlord, former Marine Cort Easton. Soon they're sharing dockside morning coffee and nighttime firefly gazing. Marlow's new life feels like a dream. Then Pixie Nolan arrives on her doorstep. With a shocking secret. To Marlow's astonishment, Dylan's "other woman" is a desperate girl of nineteen, destitute, exhausted, and disowned by her family. Defying her manipulative in-laws' demands, and surprising even herself, Marlow vows to lay down roots in Bramble and help Pixie get on her feet. Then they'll part ways. But empathy has a way of forging bonds. As Marlow grows close to the hard-working, devoted young woman, she becomes something of a big sister to Pixie. Now, with each sunrise, Marlow awakens to the life she was truly meant to live, one filled with deepening connections, supportive friendship . . . and even a second chance at love.
