When a single dad moves to a small town and becomes obsessed with a potential client—a beautiful woman haunted by her tragic past.
For years, tales of the Firefly Man were nothing more than elaborate rumors spread by residents of the Appalachian Mountains.
Until the night Evelyn Vaughn stumbled upon a dead body in the woods.
Fear gripped her, and silence stole her voice.
All while she watched the boy she was with that night take the fall.
Fourteen years later, Evelyn is nothing more than a shell of her former self.
Her life moves like a clock from one moment to the next, never a surprise.
Gone are the days of chasing fireflies through the woods.
Until her therapist goes missing, and he’s replaced with someone new.
Dr. Lincoln Reed, a devastatingly handsome single dad with an intensity behind his evergreen eyes that jolts her back to life.
Or does it?
Evelyn is quickly losing grip of the suppressed reality she’s worked so hard to maintain.
With every new session on Dr. Reed’s couch comes a startling new revelation that has her past awakening like the sparkles of light she used to chase through the nighttime woods.
The Firefly Man was supposed to be a rumor, a fable, a spooky tale.
But Evelyn knows the truth.
He’s her very own phantom.
And he’s back.

The beautiful cover of this book is just the beginning of the effect it will have on you! It’s full of deep emotion and a constant pull of intrigue as Evelyn’s past comes full circle when the infamous Firefly Man kills close to home again. She has a lot of trauma that she hasn’t fully-processed, even with all her years seeing a therapist.
When Evie’s therapist disappears without any warning or information, Dr. Lincoln Reed takes his place and sends her life into a new tailspin. They walk the fine line of a professional and personal relationship, but it doesn’t take long for the latter to take precedence. Their connection is strong and runs deep with an urgency that has you investing your full heart and mind into the story.
The supporting characters all add a layer of comfort, each one clearly expressing their love and support for Evie while still managing to give her the space she needs. Her uncle, Patrick, has been more like a father and given her room to find her own light in the world. Together, they keep the sweetness of Carly Pruitt’s spirit alive, refusing to let the darkness of the Firefly Man completely destroy their future.
The twists in this book are perfectly paced and timed to give you a lingering suspenseful tingle, balanced with angst, sweetness, and some heat! By far, one of the best romantic suspense books I’ve read in a long time!
My favorite quotes:
“It’s the Lincoln Reed effect, one I’m not sure I’ll ever get over.”
“I made a choice fourteen years ago, Linc. And my life has been so dark for so long. I’ve just been waiting for you to find me.”
