When the Fireflies Return

A summer of second chances.

Every summer, the fireflies lit up the nights in Willow Creek, and so did the friendship between Ava and Tyler. But one fateful night shattered their bond, sending Ava far from home and leaving Tyler in the shadow of heartbreak.

Now a bestselling author struggling with writer’s block, Ava returns to her small hometown for what she hopes will be a brief visit. But when she discovers Tyler still there, running his late father’s beloved inn, the past rushes back with every familiar scent and summer breeze. Old secrets flicker to the surface, threatening the fragile peace between them, and unresolved feelings refuse to fade away.

As Ava and Tyler are drawn together by memories, loss, and the magical return of the fireflies, they must confront the choices that tore them apart. Can forgiveness bridge the gap between then and now—or will the glow of second chances be lost forever?

Where the Fireflies Return is a moving, luminous tale of first love, heartbreak, and the courage it takes to heal. This evocative novel will sweep you away to golden evenings and remind you that sometimes, the light you’ve been searching for has been with you all along.
