Burning Springs

Sometimes a detour leads to a place you never expected to find.

When nurse practitioner Molly Campbell runs away from home, she isn't planning to become a waitress in a diner—it just happens. She's even more surprised to find herself with a huge crush on one of the diner's patrons: a reclusive, slightly grumpy, seriously gorgeous artist with trust issues and a meatloaf addiction. Not that a man like Jonah Sutton would ever look twice at someone like her…

Jonah isn't sure about the redhead his aunt has hired. Badly burned in the past, he's convinced Molly is hiding something, and he vows to stick close so he can keep an eye on her. Purely a precaution—that's all. It has absolutely nothing to do with how nicely her uniforms fit her curves.

Suspicion turns to intrigue, and intrigue into something neither of them is in a hurry to name. When a hard Tennessee winter leaves Molly with nowhere to go, Jonah's door is the one that opens—and they agree to take it slow and see where it leads.

What Molly doesn't expect is that a diner job she took to avoid thinking would show her what she was actually running from. It was never the work she wanted to leave behind. And a town she only meant to pass through is starting to feel a great deal like somewhere she could stay.

Burning Springs is the fourth book in the Firefly Hollow Generations series, an Appalachian family saga.
