A storm never felt so safe.

Desperate for a new life, Gretchen escapes her abusive ex and finds refuge in the small town of Gracemont. Her plan is simple: lay low. But when she meets Theo Storm, her sexy new boss, everything changes. Drawn into the warmth of his world, Gretchen discovers the possibility of happiness, love, and family—things she thought were out of her reach.

For Theo, it's love at first touch. From the moment he takes Gretchen's trembling hand, he knows he's found someone worth fighting for. Though he senses she's hiding something, he's determined to help her overcome her painful past.

When old demons come knocking, Theo calls on his family to help protect the woman who's quickly claimed his heart. The Storms are a force of nature, and they step up, ready to defend their own at any cost.

Will they succeed in keeping Gretchen safe, or will her dangerous past tear her and Theo apart?
