Laura's Storm — Iris Abbott

After the storm comes the calm, but you have to survive the turmoil first!

A storm is brewing in Austin and Laura and Brian are about to be swept away. Laura just lost her job thanks to budget cuts. And if that wasn't bad enough, the music teacher is blindsided by a car when leaving a weekend gig with her summer band Midnight Silk. One good thing comes from the accident. It brings out the protective instincts of her new acquaintance Brian Blake.

Brian Blake founder and CEO of Blake Computers is a self-proclaimed workaholic. One look at singer Laura Ramsey and he is about to change his tune. The attraction between them is instantaneous, but she has a tumultuous past and a fierce need for independence. It makes her standoffish and over cautious when it comes to men and life in general. An accident on the night they meet gives him the excuse he needs to stay in touch after she turns down his offer of a job.

Laura is both drawn and wary of Brian and the sizzling attraction between them. They begin spending more time together, and Laura finds herself falling head over heels in love. Her growing feelings are shaken, and their newfound relationship flounders when she learns that Brian secretly orchestrated her latest good fortune. Just when it seemed life couldn't get any stormier, a hurricane is headed straight for them. They are going to have to batten down the hatches and weather the storm in each other's arms.
