Best-selling author Libby Kay romances hearts with her sweet stories about family, friends, and love. Fans of Sherryl Woods’ Sweet Magnolias series are finding all the feels with Old Flames, the latest amazing story set in small town America. Don’t miss this enduring sweet romance!
Two high school sweet hearts, one charming small town, and flames of chemistry that are hard to deny…
Jessie “JJ” Mays has seen it all. Her job in the Peace Corps has put the world at her feet, with adventure calling with every new assignment. Yet after a decade of traveling, she’s become a little lonely—and unable to get over her first love. Soon an emergency phone call from home has her on the next plane, but will her heart survive this visit?
Malcolm “Smithy” Smith loves his smalltown life. His career as a fireman and EMT is fulfilling, his soap opera starlet mother keeps him on his toes, and he’s got a great group of friends. The only thing he doesn’t have—the love of his life by his side. No matter the distractions, he still misses JJ with a fierceness that consumes him.
When a call to a warehouse fire goes from routine to catastrophic, Malcolm is injured and unable to perform the job he loves. The only upside of having a building fall on him? His girl is back in Pinegrove ready to nurse him back to health. And hopefully, this visit is for good…
With some help from the residents of Pinegrove, JJ and Smithy will discover that sometimes, first love burns brightest.

Excerpt
A moment later the shower turned off and Malcolm stuck his hand out for a towel. She handed it to him, careful not to touch him. Even if only one skin cell grazed him, Jessie would melt into a puddle of want.
As she toweled him down, they faced the bathroom mirror, fogged up with steam. Jessie took her time making sure he was dry before carefully peeling away the tape and checking his bandages. By the time she was done, the mirror had cleared and she could see their reflections staring back at her.
Malcolm, damn him, looked incredible. He’d always been tall and lean, but years on the force had carved him into a walking marble statue. His dark skin glistened, and Jessie stood awe-struck as a single bead of water trailed from his collarbone down to his stomach. Did he have eight abs now? What the hell was going on?!
“I should …” Jessie dropped the towel, unable to breathe.
Malcolm spun around, bringing his good arm up to rest on her shoulder. “You should what?” he asked, angling his head so he could meet her blue gaze.
“I don’t know,” she said, a chuckle escaping on an exhale.
Bringing his hand up, he cupped her cheek. He swiped his thumb over her bottom lip, and Jessie shuddered. This was hardly their first time getting too close for caretaker comfort, but Jessie couldn’t step away. Malcolm felt like a magnet, pulling her closer like a force of nature.
“JJ.” He exhaled her nickname, his breath dancing across her lips. “Please.”
That one word had maximum effect, chipping away any shred of resolve she had left. Jessie closed the distance between them, their lips crashing together. In a heartbeat, time stood still. Gone was the past, their worries of the future, all the words they should have said; they were just Jessie and Malcolm.
