Wedding photographer Sloane Michaels trades taffeta for twisters every spring when tornado season arrives. She spends six weeks each year chasing storms across the plains, camera in hand. This year matters more than most. Nature Shots magazine has announced a cover contest that could launch her landscape photography career for good. Standing in her way is Wes Talbot, the reckless storm chaser known as "Wild Wes" who has been her competitor and frenemy for ten years. When Wes crashes his vehicle and threatens his season, Sloane faces a choice. She could take the easy victory, but that would feel hollow. Instead, she invites her injured rival to join her chase team. Together they barrel through hail and high winds, racing toward the most dangerous storms on the continent. As the miles pass and the storms intensify, Sloane discovers that the wealthy Texas wildcard she thought she knew might be someone entirely different. The electricity building between them proves more volatile than any weather system they pursue.
