About the book

Hero: Aiden Cole, a widowed single dad who runs an offshore oil rig
Heroine: Ariel, a former military pilot who now flies medevac helicopters

Aiden Cole isn't looking for love.

Any romantic hope he once had died with his wife, despite her final wish that he someday find happiness again. Now his life revolves around raising his daughter and keeping his offshore oil rig crew alive. As Hurricane Julian—a catastrophic Category Five monster—barrels toward the Gulf, Aiden oversees a full evacuation.

Then disaster strikes.

Two crewmen are critically injured. Getting them out before the storm hits becomes his only priority. Until the rescue helicopter arrives. And the pilot is Ariel.

Fearless. Gorgeous. Completely unexpected.

Ariel doesn't believe in love. As an aeromedical rescue pilot, she thrives under pressure, making impossible extractions in dangerous conditions.

But when Hurricane Julian arrives ahead of schedule, her helicopter is grounded—trapping her, her crew, Aiden, and the injured men on the oil rig with the storm of the century closing in.
