INSTANT LOVE DOESN'T EXIST.
—But instant lust does. In that moment, he was sure of it!

Losing her home to the city's next mall project is just something ER nurse Annie Gaines has to face before the adoption of her three foster sons is final. All she wants to do is make it through the adoption process, keep her boys safe, and give them a home to grow up in. Not so easy now that the mayor's "Clean Up Boethe Street" initiative is threatening the home Annie has worked to pay for since she was a teenager.

Now she must confront one of the wealthiest, most powerful, most prominent men in the city—and try to convince one of the Barratts of Finley Creek that he should look anywhere else but her neighborhood for his plans…

CAN INSTANT LUST TURN TO LASTING LOVE
—BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?

Mayor Turner Barratt takes one look at the pretty, sweetly shy woman standing in his office and falls head over heels into instant-lust. He's willing to help her keep her home however he can. He just has to convince her he's not the bad guy she thinks he is.

But before he can help Annie save her home, the sirens sound.

Disaster is about to hit.

When the tornado strikes, Annie and Turner are thrown into a nightmare. One she almost doesn't survive. Natural disasters mean big money for some in the city, and there's corruption on every level of the Finley Creek city government.

And now someone wants to teach Turner a lesson about interfering where he doesn't belong.

When the mayor gets in the way of profits, Annie may just pay the price…
