Stormy Surrender — Emma Nichols

It has been six months since Marti agreed to marry Joey. Despite her history, she's having a healthy pregnancy. They finally have her house to themselves and Joey has finished her To Do list. Life should be perfect, but it's not. Joey is pressuring Marti to make it legal before the baby arrives, which is proving impossible since Blaine refuses to let go. Their situation is further complicated when Finn refuses to go away. Add in a town divided, a legacy to uphold, and a particularly vicious hurricane season, and then hang on. Marti never imagined a southern storm with all its force and fury could be so destructive. Of course, after the storm, the land is washed clean. It's perfect for a fresh start, a clean slate, and a permanent love, if only they will surrender.
