I never expected to find myself stranded in the middle of nowhere, Texas, with a storm of the century raging outside. But when my rental car died and the sky turned a bruised violet, I had no choice but to seek shelter in the nearest house. What I didn't expect was the man who answered the door—a tall, rugged cowboy with eyes as blue as the stormy sky and a body that could make a saint sin. Silas Vance is everything I'm not—a billionaire rancher with a heart as wild as the land he owns. He's gruff, demanding, and utterly captivating. He saved me from the storm, but he can't save me from the heat that builds between us every time he looks at me. One night of passion turns into two, then three. The storm outside rages on, but the fire inside is even more intense. I know I should leave, but every time he touches me, every time he looks at me with those piercing blue eyes, I'm lost. I'm his. But this is a fairytale with a ticking clock. The storm will pass, and when it does, I'll have to face the reality of who we are and what we want. Can a city girl like me find a forever in the arms of a cowboy? Or will the storm that brought us together also tear us apart?
