Sapphic romance
Sometimes it takes a storm to show you where you really belong.
Sometimes a storm is just what you need to clear the skies ahead.
Amber Archer inherits a mysterious house from relatives she thought were long dead — and sees it as her ticket out of the chaos consuming her New York life.
Nestled in the middle of nowhere, Rowan Payton owns The Willows, the premier racing stables in Kentucky. Her controlled and ordered life isn’t ready for the tornado of a city girl.
Their worlds collide in a stormy encounter, igniting a fierce attraction despite their stark differences and outlooks. Can this city girl and country woman make things work? Or will the storm tear them apart?
