Whatever may or may not be happening between us, I can\u2019t let it interfere. I\u2019ve spent far too many years watching my mom drop everything else in her life for the sake of a man. I\u2019ll be damned if I turn into her now. In fact, what I should do is tell Wes in no uncertain terms that last night was a mistake. But then he emerges from the bathroom, unreasonably attractive in a pair of hiking shorts that show off the high curve of his ass and a snug black T-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>He props himself up in the doorframe and continues to rub his hair with the towel. \u201cStill thinking Kansas?\u201d \u201cSomewhere between Dodge City and Wichita is probably our best bet.\u201d \u201cWe can grab lunch in Dodge and decide from there. Could get crowded today.\u201d I make a face, but he\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a higher-than-usual chance of tornadoes in the area we\u2019re targeting. Combine that with a good road network and fairly flat elevation, and a chaser convergence is all but guaranteed. Navigating around a hundred other chasers is less than ideal and can quickly turn dangerous, but it\u2019s also the kind of forecast that might get me something Nature Shots worthy. Wes tosses the towel into the bathroom and prowls over, holding out his hand. He pulls me easily to my feet when I take it and instantly wraps me in his arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForgot to say good morning,\u201d he breathes into my ear before lowering his mouth to mine. Despite the confident way he moves in, there\u2019s the slightest hesitation before his lips touch mine. Maybe I\u2019m not the only one with questions, which weirdly helps me relax. I give in to the pleasure of the kiss, melting into him as it deepens into white-hot need.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as if the years we\u2019ve spent bickering have been a kind of foreplay building in the background, and now that we\u2019ve broken the seal, all that pent-up desire is rushing out. Not that we have time to indulge in it right now. Squeezing the dip of my waist with a rueful grin, Wes reluctantly lets go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should get on the road.\u201d I grab my coffee and nod with an awkward jerk of my head. \u201cWe can eat in the car,\u201d I say, refusing to look at the bed and all the bad but wonderful ideas it represents. \u201cGood idea.\u201d I\u2019m not the only one a little breathless. Wes shoves his hands in his pockets, almost as if he needs to physically prevent himself from reaching for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSloane,\u201d he calls when I\u2019ve got my hand on the door, one foot already in the hallway.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 by Heather Upton Excerpt from Blow Me Away by Heather Frances copyright \u00a9 2026 by Heather Upton Penguin Random House values and supports copyright.

When I got the opportunity to learn to chase storms on the plains for the first time in 2019, I was instantly hooked. Being able to write a romance set in the world of storm chasing has meant so much to me, and I\u2019m so excited to share that with all of you!<\/p>\n<p>I want to note that this is a work of fiction, and though my own experiences at times provided inspiration, liberties have been taken and embellishments made in service of the story. Storm chasing can be relatively safe with the right knowledge and preparation, but incredibly dangerous without. If you ever decide you want to try it out, don\u2019t be like Wes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
