Seven days. One gale. A fugitive between them — and the truth neither will say.
DEA fugitive-recovery agent Heath Tackett has chased one man for thirteen months. He has chased the silence behind that man for three years — since a buy in St. Louis went wrong, his asset died on a loading dock, and the leak that killed him came from somewhere above Heath's own head. He has an open file, a working dog who reads the wind before he does, and a rule he made on a sidewalk in the rain: never again trust what he can't see for himself.
Coast Guard investigator Brigid Sather captains the Persistence and reads Lake Superior the way other people read a room. She knows a July gale is building before the buoys do. She also knows the name Heath Tackett — quietly, from a certification file, from three years of being aware of a man she'd never met. When his fugitive runs into the Apostle Islands and the storm seals every channel out, Brigid is the only one who can take Heath where the trail leads. They go against orders. They go anyway.
For seven days the weather closes the world down to wet rock, dark water, and a dog named Scout tracking scent on a shifting wind. And on the fifth night, locked in a lighthouse with the storm at its loudest, the two of them finally tell each other the things they have each carried alone — his loading dock, her harbor — the confessions that could undo them both, and the only ones that could ever set them free.
When the capture comes, it comes quiet. Staying will be the loud part.
Storm is a clean, closed-door romantic suspense — a storm-locked Lake Superior slow burn, a loyal K-9 who reads the wind, and a hero who tracks the truth instead of forcing it. North Star K-9 Unit, Book 6. Every book is a complete story with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
