About the book
TEMPEST Wade Magallen led the life of a devil-may-care bachelor until Storm Roemer tamed his wild heart and calmed his hotheaded ways. But a devastating secret made him send away the most breathtaking girl in Wyoming -- and with her, his one chance at happiness.
As gentle as a breeze, yet as strong willed as a gale, Storm returned to Laramie after years of trying to forget Wade. One look at the handsome cowboy unleashed a torrent of longing she couldn't deny, no matter what obstacle stood between them. Storm only had to decide if she'd win Wade back with a love as sweet as summer rain -- or a whirlwind of passion that would leave him begging for more.
