Thunder Storm

By Mimi Foster and Linda Cheng

Book Overview

She's building an empire in the clouds. He's rooted in the earth.

Jeni Jenkins thrives on momentum. As a high-powered New York advertising executive, her life is a blur of deadlines, double espressos, and polished steel. But when her mother's sudden death leaves her the sole caregiver for her aging grandmother, Jeni's carefully balanced world veers off course.

Moving Nana into a charming Victorian cottage in Nederland, Colorado is supposed to be temporary. It's a logistical solution supported by her best friend, professional caregivers, and the routines into which Nana quickly settles. Jeni tells herself she can manage it all. But as the frequent flyer miles rack up, so does the quiet pull of a life she never planned to want. The distance between the woman she's been and the one emerging in the mountains begins to widen.

Miles Jeffries is a local contractor with deep roots and a gentle steadiness, the man who helps make that life feel possible. He is openly captivated by Jeni from the start: by her sharp wit, her fearless flirtation, the way she lights up every room she enters. He indulges her teasing, her bold innuendo, the way she dares him to cross lines he refuses to step over. He adores her, but he's careful enough not to reach for what never stays.

As the mountain air settles around them, affection deepens into something harder to ignore. Jeni keeps coming back, each visit charged with laughter and heat, each goodbye leaving a little more behind. She's falling for the man who shows up, who shoulders responsibility without complaint, who makes staying feel less like surrender and more like truth. But Miles has learned the cost of loving someone who always leaves, and wanting her isn't enough to make him believe she'll stay.

In a town where roots run deep and choices linger, Jeni must decide whether the future she's been chasing is worth the one waiting for her.

Because some foundations are built to weather the storm, and some loves are patient enough to wait, even when waiting hurts.
