The Storms We Weather

"One look from her is all it takes for me to get pulled into her orbit, forever lost to the black hole that is this godforsaken town. I lost myself to her before, and I can’t do that again."

Cassie-

Five years ago, small town preschool teacher Cassandra Whitney’s husband walked out of her life. Since then, she has fallen into a comfortable routine. But when her unproblematic boyfriend becomes a problem, she finds herself facing the same impossible predicament that once cost her a marriage—selling her beloved childhood home.

Fortunately, her jerk of an ex-husband is still part owner, and if she can depend on him for anything, it’s to complicate her life. It’s exactly the kind of convenient excuse she needs to stay safe within her familiar walls.

Luke-
When Luke Whitney finally freed himself of the small-town life he never asked for, he got everything he thought he wanted. Everything except the one person he wanted by his side. His reputation for being an insufferable jerk catches up to him when his new relationship ends in bitter chaos and turns his almost perfect life to ruins.

With nothing left, he’s forced to return to the stubborn ex-wife he hasn’t spoken to in five years, the home they still share, and the town he swore he’d never see again.

What seems like a manageable, temporary agreement between the two of them proves more difficult than either expected. As turbulent feelings resurface, both passion and pain, Luke and Cassie learn that some storms can’t be outrun; they must be weathered.
