Rules of the Storm

Lightning kills quietly. Thunder means you're still here.

Zoe Michaels has spent years building a quiet life in Kentucky. Independent, stubborn, and determined to stand on her own, she has no interest in letting anyone get too close, especially a man carrying as many secrets as Kellen Reed.

When danger crashes into her world, Zoe finds herself caught between the life she's always known and a man whose past refuses to stay buried.

Kellen has spent years living with the consequences of a single tragic night. Haunted by guilt and driven by a need for redemption, he knows getting close to Zoe is a mistake. But the more time he spends protecting her, the harder it becomes to walk away.

As threats close in and hidden truths begin to surface, trust becomes as dangerous as the enemies hunting them.

Because some storms don't destroy you.

They reveal who you're meant to be.

Rules of the Storm is the first book in The Pressure Beneath series-a romantic suspense filled with slow-burn tension, forced proximity, found family, emotional healing, and a love story forged in the middle of chaos.
