Cattail Ridge: A Small Town Women's Fiction Romance

Archer came to Hazard for a fresh start—new town, new job, room to breathe after a marriage that nearly cost him everything. He didn't expect to end up part of the Campbell family within the year. He didn't expect to fall for Emma either. She was seven months pregnant when he met her, guarded and a little fierce, and he drove her to the hospital the day Sydney was born. He's loved them both quietly ever since, uncertain if he will ever be brave enough to tell Emma the truth.Emma isn't looking for love. She's raising her daughter and running her studio, still carrying what the last man who claimed to love her did to them both. But Archer is different—patient, steady, the kind of good she stopped believing existed—and somewhere in the ordinary rhythm of years spent as friends, what she feels for him stops being simple. It starts keeping her up at night.Cattail Ridge is the fifth book in the Firefly Hollow Essentials series, a heartwarming small-town Southern family saga where the meddling family is half the fun and Appalachian folk magic runs quiet underneath. Told in dual POV, it's a slow burn friends-to-lovers romance about a single mother starting over in her hometown, the wounded hero with a secret crush who falls first, and the found family they build before either of them is brave enough to name it.
