Lauren Reynolds needs the adrenaline rush that chasing tornadoes brings. Since the death of her parents four years ago, storms are the only time she feels alive. Now she's determined to land a roving weather reporter job in Tornado Alley, and she'll do anything for the position--even return home to Oklahoma and face the country boy she left behind.
Meteorology professor Tanner Erickson is totally over Lauren--at least, he thought he was until he moved back to Sunset Plains. Memories of his high school sweetheart haunt him around every corner. Even after four years, he can't forgive her self-destructive penchant for chasing funnel clouds, or the way she dumped him in a letter and then disappeared.
When a funeral brings Lauren and Tanner face-to-face again, the chemistry between them is as potent as ever. As they cautiously pick up the broken pieces of their old relationship, another deadly tornado forms in Sunset Plains. And Lauren needs Tanner's equipment to chase it. Can they weather past hurts to claim a future together, or will it be swallowed by the storm?
