Firefly Valley, a town filled with small-town chaos and second chances.

My grandmother left me her house. I figured I’d host a completely normal Viking funeral and then head back to my dull life in the city. When I discover her secret life as a globe-trotting adventurer, I question when I traded passion for predictability. And do I have the courage to change it back?

Then a one-night stand sends me down memory lane.

Twenty years ago, while spending a summer with my grandmother, I kissed my first boy. Now he’s a rugged man running the town’s library, and he’s determined to pick up where we left off. A summer fling counts as an adventure, right?

I should have been careful when I asked for excitement. Between the library closing, reconnecting with my estranged sister, and… did I mention stripping for charity? I can barely breathe as I get sucked into small-town shenanigans.

I preach radical love, but now the universe is giving me a crash course in practicing it.


Every Reason to Stay is a M/M, snarky romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features the hilarity of small towns, plenty of steam, and a second chance at love. This is book three in the Bears of Firefly Valley.
