Twenty-two-year-old Reese James has been called bride, wife, and now -- widow. At a time when she'd been dreaming of becoming a mother, she became what she never imagined. Her friends and family spent the last year looking at her with pity and discomfort, but now they look at her with impatience. When will she move on? When will she move forward? But how can she move forward when she is standing still, trapped by her past? She had it all with Derek, but now the rings on her finger make her feel like a fraud. Torn between the life she led and a future she can't imagine, Reese finds herself looking for change. Faced with an opportunity to escape into the wild Alberta Rockies, she takes it. Reese soon finds herself trekking into the wild with Logan, a broody, arrogant, city-scorned man with a chip on his shoulder. But Logan doesn't know she's broken. He doesn't look at her with pity or discomfort or impatience. When he looks at her, she feels strong. She feels alive. As they find a rhythm, learning to live together in the wild, Reese learns the hard lesson that maybe her soul wasn't intended exclusively for Derek. Maybe, just maybe she was one of those rare souls who had always been intended to love with all of her heart twice in her life. Maybe Logan was always fated to be her future.

I chase tornadoes -- literally. And being a female scientist in my field means I need to be on my game at all times. Unshakable. Serious. Yes, even a little bitchy. The last thing I expect is a hot, intense biker like Archer West blazing into town and wanting a wild and reckless fling withme. Thanks to my not-so-squeaky past, I can't afford any missteps at this point in my career. Translation: I have to keep the hell away from charming, dirty-talking, bad boy rebels like him. Not just because he's an irresistible temptation, but also because he's the estranged brother of a colleague. Unfortunately, it becomes abundantly clear the stubborn man has no intention of giving up, even if that means following me right into the eye of a storm. And while he may just be the only human on earth who seems to get me, he's also the only one capable of making me lose control. I'm not actually sure which terrifies me more... or what'll break me first. New 2020 edition! NOTE: This is a standalone novel starring Archer, the brother of Dean West from the Spiral Trilogy. Reading Dean's trilogy first isn't at all required to enjoy Archer and Kelsey's story. But, doing so will mean you get to meet TWO hunky, swoony West brothers (so, yay! lol). Happy reading! "A brilliant, rich and SCORCHING hot storm of a love story." --The Book Bellas?? "Romance at its most beautiful, angst and tension at its peak. The writing in this story is simply magnificent. Special. Classy. Sexy. Perfect." -- Angie and Jessica's Dreamy Reads
