Under a Stormy Sky

Skye has learned how to be careful with her heart.

After surviving cancer and profound loss, she’s built a life that feels safe—but smaller than the one she once imagined. When she downloads a dating app, it’s purely for distraction. Something light. Temporary. Nothing she expects to matter.

Until it does.

The man she meets is younger, magnetic, and unexpectedly serious about her. Their connection is immediate, playful, and intensely physical—but it’s also tender in ways Skye didn’t realize she was missing. With him, she feels desired again. Powerful. Alive in her own skin.

As their secret romance deepens, Skye is forced to confront the fear that loving fully means risking pain. But passion has a way of rewriting the rules—and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop holding back.

A sexy, heart-warming romance about rediscovering pleasure, trusting desire, and learning that love doesn’t fade with age—it gets bolder.
