Catching Fireflies — K.C. Kendricks

Dale Langley longs for some triple R time -- rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. He accepts his cousin's invitation to winter over on Ocracoke Island, far away from the hustle and bustle of life on the mainland. He's always loved being a rolling stone, traveling for his job without the worry of a place to call home, but it's time for something different. Now Dale anticipates several blissful months to learn how to be still with no demands on his time while he prepares for the next phase of his life.

Aubrey Zimmerman came to Ocracoke to attend a friend's commitment ceremony. Never one to settle down, Aubrey's had enough of involvements that took him from man to man without a place to call home. He needs a break -- and a little solitude. Housesitting while his friend is on his honeymoon is the perfect way to clear his head and catch up on his sleep. At least it seemed that way until Dale arrived and Aubrey realized sleep is the last thing he needs.

Fate has changes in store for Dale and Aubrey, the sort neither one knew they wanted. Sometimes the more you wander the closer to home you get.
