Second Harmony — Barbara Bretton

Hurricane Iris and Mike McKay arrived at the same time

It was anyone's guess which posed the greater threat. Sandy Patterson's home was already battered by Hurricane Henry, which had attacked Eaton's Harbor, Long Island, the previous day. And while Sandy had fifteen years to recover from her last encounter with
Mike, she was as vulnerable now as she'd been then.

There was no guarantee their love would be any easier this time, that their needs would mesh, that their desires would blend in sweet harmony. But as the winds howled around the house, Sandy realized that love, like life, was made up of risks that were meant to be taken.
