As an outbreak of storms headed for Thunder Rock, Oklahoma, Dr. Maggie Blake, received a life-changing phone call from her former meteorology professor, giving her the green light on the grant funding she and her team had been praying for. Her team, STORMFRONT, had been working on a revolutionary way to weaken tornadoes–maybe even stop them altogether. After years of research, countless engineering hiccups, and endless hours of data collection, her and her team were able to build a machine that had the potential of saving millions of lives. Tornado Alley had been shifting east for the last two decades, making mid-west metropolises a dangerous target. With S.I.L.O., there was hope. Maggie carried that hope into the dirt town of Thunder Rock. With her team around her, she felt on top of the world. She plastered on a smile, shoved her doubts down, and headed out into the night with her family for a pre-chase ritual. Her smile, and all the healing she’d done disappeared when she heard the deep, rich voice of her ex in the middle of Crossroads, Thunder Rock’s watering hole for worn out cowboys. Jaxon Kennedy knew there was a chance of seeing his ex this weekend, but he’d held on to the delusion the biggest outbreak of the season wouldn’t attract her to Thunder Rock. He’d been called back to the states by his boss to document. Jaxon’s photos had been featured in weather magazines across the nation. He’d also had several National Geographic features. None of that mattered to him. He wasn’t doing this for fame. He was doing this in order to keep his promise–to her. Seeing her took his breath away, but the need for her had never faded. They had a bad breakup, but their love was still simmering underneath the surface, both of them too afraid to admit it. Jaxon was determined to steer clear of her, to give her the space they both needed to make it through the weekend. But when a tornado left the STORMFRONT members separated across the county, Maggie and Jaxon were caught in the crosswinds, bringing the past into the present, leaving their hearts exposed in the aftermath…
