Storms of the Heart

A Common Elements Romance Project book.

After the perfect storm that devastated her family, Emerson Lane fled the suffocating small town of Twin Creeks, her uncle, and her crush on Max. Seven years later, she returns home to make amends with her uncle and help him with the town's Centennial, only to learn that also involves working with Max.

Sheriff Justin "Max" Lomax has had enough of small-town life and his overbearing bully of a grandfather. He plans to resign and move to the big city as soon as the Centennial celebration is over. There's only one problem. Emerson Lane has returned. Seven years ago, he felt sorry for the young girl who'd lost her family, but now she's all grown up and he's tempted to explore new possibilities.

In the week before the Centennial, storms abound—both emotional and literal. As Emerson and Max unravel mysteries of the past, they just might find their future.
