A storm’s rage. A woman’s desire.

A man with the power to set them both free.

He can summon lightning at will. Emerge unscathed from the center of
a tornado. Strip a woman down to her barest defenses through the
sheer force of his sexuality. He’s gorgeous, dangerous, and the target
of parameteorologist Haley Holmes’s latest mission. Haley has been
dispatched to the Louisiana bayous to investigate the phenomenon
known as Remy Begnaud–a man with a gift he never wanted: the ability
to control a storm’s fury. But even a woman trained in bizarre weather
phenomena has no defense against the electrifying power of the
ex—Navy SEAL… a power his enemies would kill to control.

With her agency monitoring their every move, Haley’s job is to seduce
Remy, gain his trust–and help him harness his extraordinary gift. But
who will protect her from this voracious lover who’s introducing her to
a new world of erotic thrills—a man who grows increasingly insatiable
with each new weather event? Haley knows a big storm is
approaching—and with it will come unexpected delights. But so, too,
will the storm unleash her greatest fears: an enemy bent on destroying
Remy. And her worst fear of all—falling in love with this magnificent
man, then having to betray him.
