Nick McGuire wasn’t meant to be a family man. His career has always been his
focus, and after taking time out to help his mother, he’s ready to get back to
the city…until Mia and her daughters arrive at Firefly Lake. Mia is beautiful
and intriguing, and it doesn’t take long to realize being “just friends” will
never be enough. As the summer nights turn colder, Nick will have to choose
between the life he’s always wanted…and the woman he can’t live without.
Praise for
Summer on Firefly Lake:
“Has
charm to spare...The delightful supporting cast...and expertly plotted story
add depth and richness to this tale, leaving readers eager for another visit to
Firefly Lake.” – Publishers Weekly
“Gilroy’s
second Firefly Lake novel encapsulates the quaint, busybody small-town feel and
the slippery slope of friends becoming lovers quite well…Engaging...(a) fast
paced page turner.” – RT Book Reviews
Excerpt:
“I want this.” Mia lifted her face
to his as a cloud scudded across the moon. “I want you.”
Even if it could only be for
tonight, she was Mia, not a mom, not a sister, and not a wife who’d been tossed
aside for someone younger and curvier. For this one moment, she didn’t have any
responsibilities except what she wanted and needed.
I want you, too.” Nick took her
hand and led her toward the car. “A part of me has wanted you since I was
fifteen and you hung out at the town beach in that green bikini with the white
flowers.”
Her heart lurched. He’d noticed her
enough to remember the bikini she’d hidden from her mom. The one she’d bought
because she’d heard Nick say he liked green. “You were always with the guys by
the life guard station.” Everything about him was a lot sexy and a little bit
dangerous.
“I wanted to see you.” His smile
was forced, like the admission cost him more than he wanted her to know.
Mia curved her cold hand into his
warm one. She’d guessed she’d hurt him the one time they’d gone out, but until
tonight she hadn’t understood how much. She couldn’t regret the past, and she
couldn’t predict the future, but she could do something about the present. “I
want to be with you. Even though we’re not teenagers anymore and I don’t have
that green bikini.
Nick’s gaze skimmed her body from
head to toe and lingered at her breasts. Then he gave her a grin that was pure
bad boy. “I was always a lot more interested in what was underneath that bikini
anyway.”
He opened the passenger door for
her to slide in.
She looked at him from under her
lashes and flirted like she’d wanted to do all those years ago but had been too
shy. “You were, were you?”
“Oh yeah.” He shut the car door
and, in the sudden silence, panic rolled over her again. Except, there was
excitement too…

be forgotten.
Charlotte
Gibbs wants nothing more than to put the past behind her, once and for all. Yet
now that she's back at Firefly Lake to sell her mother's cottage, the
overwhelming flood of memories reminds her of what she's been missing.
Sun-drenched days. Late-night kisses that still shake her to the core. The
gentle breeze off the lake, the scent of pine in the air, and the promise of
Sean's touch on her skin…True, she got her dream job traveling the world. But
at what cost?
Sean
Carmichael still doesn't know why Charlie disappeared that summer, but after
eighteen years, a divorce, and a teenage son he loves more than anything in the
world, he's still not over her. All this time and her body still fits against
his like a glove. She walked away once when he needed her the most. How can he
convince her to stay now?
Praise for The
Cottage at Firefly Lake:
“Gilroy’s
debut contemporary is packed with potent emotions…[the] protagonists tug at the
heartstrings from the beginning of the story and don’t let go. Long on charm,
this story invites readers to come in and stay a while.” – Publishers Weekly
“Memories,
regrets and second chances are front and center in Gilroy’s fantastic debut.” –
