Synopsis
Turbulence
is in their forecast
Summer
Raines knows when it's going to rain. She can feel it. That's why the local
weather girl's so good at her job. Too bad she couldn't have foreseen the
tumultuous arrival of Travis Lockwood, everybody's favorite star NFL
quarterback. Make that former
star NFL quarterback. Sidelined back to Texas after an injury, the golden boy
is trying to steal her precious on-air time. Summer is reduced to reporting
from…football games. It's enough to make her quit and become a storm-chaser
like her parents. She's stuck with a career that's going nowhere and a man who
delights in her refusal to be charmed. Falling in love isn't nearly as easy as
predicting the weather.
Excerpt
“Weather
Girl.” Travis was all smiles as he sat on the corner of her desk. “Did you have
a good weekend?”
“I
had a great weekend,” Summer said, taking a good look at him. His hair was
shorter, a lot shorter. It made him look older, less like a boy and more like a
man. “It looks like someone attacked your head with some clippers.”
Looking
sheepish, he rubbed his clean-shaven jaw with his knuckles. “I got a haircut,”
he said, stating the obvious. “My aunt Kelly’s neighbor’s book club apparently
thought it was too long. Kelly agreed and called my mother, who called me and
said she wasn’t going to bake any red velvet cupcakes when I came to visit if I
didn’t get it cut.”
“She
drives a hard bargain.”
“You
have no idea. Her cupcakes make me cry,” he whispered.
“Interesting,”
Summer said, not interested in the least.
“I’ll
ask her to bake you some. She likes you.” He cringed and closed his eyes. His
cheeks turned pink. “I mean she watches you and likes you, you know, as a
weather girl.”
If
anyone knew about sticking her foot in her mouth, it was Summer. “If it makes
you feel any better, my grandmother thinks you’re cute,” she confessed to ease
his embarrassment.
“She
does?” His eyes were bright like the clouds had lifted. “And would you say you
consider your grandmother a wise woman?”
“Oh,
Mimi is completely off her rocker. I mean, she is more than a few cards short
of a full deck. Bonkers. Mad as a hatter. Crazy as a—”
“Okay,
okay!” Travis put his fingers on her lips. “I get it.”
Summer’s
heart skipped a beat, then flew into overdrive. Before she could process this
unexpected physical reaction, Travis pulled his hand away and shoved it deep in
his pants pocket.
“Did
you know that the highest temperature ever recorded was 136 degrees Fahrenheit
in Azizia, Libya?” she blurted out. “Can you imagine?”
His
Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. “That’s crazy hot.”
