Description

Carli Santana never expected to become Willow Creek's most talked-about runaway bride, but when she bolts from the altar in her wedding dress, barefoot and breathless, she sets off a scandal that shakes the small Texas town. All she wants is a quiet place to figure out her next move. What she gets is Cory Hayes: the charming, reckless, completely off-limits bad boy who once made a habit of flirting with her like it was his full-time job.

Cory's back in town to tie up loose ends, not to fall for the girl he was told to stay away from. But when he finds Carli drinking whiskey in a wedding gown, his resolve goes out the window. Offering her a place to lay low in his family's guesthouse? Terrible idea. Falling into her bed? Even worse.

As small-town gossip swirls, a tornado tears through Willow Creek, and old fears resurface, Carli and Cory must decide if their wild, unexpected love can survive the storm-or if some hearts were never meant to stay.
