[Weathering Stormy 01] • Weathering Stormy

STORMY Black knows there’s a better life out there, one that doesn’t include her mother’s alcoholic rants and nursing her hangovers, and she’s mapped out a plan to break free of the chaos. She’ll lay low until graduation, stash away some cash, and then drive off into the sunset in her battered old truck, leaving her ugly past, and her mother, behind.

But even the best laid plans can evaporate in the blink of an eye.

While putting her mother to bed after one of her drinking binges, a gruesome family secret is revealed, one that shocks Stormy to her core. Thoroughly devastated by the revelation, Stormy finds comfort in the arms of Brylan Knight.

Charming and breathtakingly handsome, Brylan opens his home to her, providing the warmth and compassion she desperately needs, and he inadvertently takes a piece of her heart in return. But, adding to the long list of disappointments in her life, there can be nothing beyond friendship between them. By offering her anything more, Brylan would be putting his reputation, as well as his brand new career, on the line.

As the mayhem in her life piles higher and higher, Stormy finds herself drowning in an ocean of heartbreak and none of her former plans seem to matter anymore.

Her new goal?

Keeping her head above water.
