Until the Storm Breaks: A Small-Town, Grumpy Sunshine Romance (The Midnight Men Book 1)

About this book

Calvin Midnight returns to the small town of Dark River with a singular, detached mission: settle his late mother’s estate and vanish back to his life in Seattle. As a brooding literary talent who masks his own grief through his writing, he expects his homecoming to be brief. However, his plans hit a complication in the form of Maren Strand, the local bar owner who resides in the cabin on his family’s property. Maren is the town’s steadfast safe harbor, but she now faces the terrifying prospect of losing her home if Calvin decides to sell the estate. What follows is a high-tension game of forced proximity as the two occupy side-by-side cabins with paper-thin walls. While Maren initially has every reason to resent the man who threatens her stability, she finds her resolve crumbling under the weight of undeniable attraction. Calvin, meanwhile, struggles to reconcile his desire for isolation with his growing feelings for the woman who challenges his guarded exterior. Featuring a classic grumpy/sunshine dynamic, *Until the Storm Breaks* is a steamy, slow-burn romance that explores the beauty of vulnerability. It is a story about two people who are experts at fixing everyone else’s problems while remaining unable to face their own, proving that the most intense connections often ignite when two hearts are finally forced to collide.
