As an Air Force pararescueman, I was supposed to save lives in Afghanistan, not get my best friend killed. When my time in the military comes to an end, the survivor’s guilt won’t let me go. Now tornadoes and women are the only things that help me cope, and they both come with the same warning: Don’t get too close. Following that rule was never a problem until Mother Nature dropped me in the path of Paige Landry. As a trauma nurse with a knack for healing, it doesn’t take her long to realize my truth—I’m a broken man who chases storms to escape the storms chasing me. But she doesn’t know the destruction I’m capable of. That getting close to me is an invitation to disaster. I can’t protect her if she doesn’t heed the warning: I’m the tornado. Don’t chase me. Tropes: *Military *Small town *Found family *Medical *Mental health
