Dancing with Fireflies
by Denise Hunter

Jade returns home to Chapel Springs after years of
protecting her fragile heart. Then along comes Daniel,
making her long to dance again.

Growing up in the Midwestern river town of Chapel Springs,
Indiana, Jade McKinley felt like a weed in a rose garden.
When she left, she thought she’d never look back. Now,
pregnant, alone, and broke, she has no other choice but to
return.

The mayor of Chapel Springs, Daniel Dawson, has been an
honorary member of the McKinley family for years. While his
own home life was almost nonexistent, Daniel fit right in
with the boisterous McKinley family. He’s loved Jade
for years, but she always thought of him as a big brother.
Now that she’s back, his feelings are stronger than ever.

As Jade attempts to settle in, nothing feels right. God
seems far away, she’s hiding secrets from her family,
and she’s strangely attracted to the man who’s
always called her “squirt.” Returning home may
prove more difficult—and more wonderful—than she
ever imagined.

Originally published March 2014 in trade paperback and
eBook formats.
