Against the Wind

The last person I expect—or want—to take shelter with as a hurricane bears down on Hatterwick Island is Daniel LaRue—the man who broke my heart barely three months ago.

I’m not looking for distractions. The clinic’s been targeted by thieves. The island’s locked down tight against the storm.

And Daniel—hot Coast Guardsman, bad decision, walking heartbreak—is the last thing I need complicating my life again.

Coming back to the Outer Banks after med school was supposed to be a fresh start.

For a while, I thought maybe I’d bring him with me.

Until he accepted a promotion across the country without even telling me.

It turned out he was more of a situationship than anything real.

Except now he’s standing on my doorstep, insisting he’s here for me—and refusing to leave when everything in me screams to slam the door in his face.

Stranded together, we have no choice but to face the storm—and the feelings I thought I'd buried.

But as the hours tick by, it’s clear Daniel isn’t telling me everything.

And on Hatterwick Island, secrets always come with a price.
