Blown Away

Orchid never expected her birthday trip to unravel in an airport storm.

​

Stranded in Miami with no flight, no hotel, and no backup plan, she says yes to a stranger’s kindness—a warm, intuitive woman named Pixie who offers her a place to stay. What Orchid doesn’t expect is Pixie’s brother.

​

Parker is guarded, sharp-edged, and still reeling from a divorce that left him hollowed out. He doesn’t want a houseguest—especially not one who unsettles him with a single look. But as the storm traps them together, tension gives way to something neither of them can control.

In the flicker of candlelight and the quiet aftermath of shared confessions, Orchid and Parker find themselves drawn into an intense, fragile connection—one built on grief, vulnerability, and undeniable chemistry. What begins as a fleeting moment in the eye of a storm quickly deepens into something that feels dangerously real.

​

But real life is waiting.

​

When morning comes, so do the walls Parker has spent years building—and Orchid is forced to decide whether what they’ve found is worth the risk of breaking all over again.

​

Miles apart, both haunted by what could have been, they must confront the truth: some connections don’t fade… they demand to be fought for.

Sometimes love doesn’t arrive gently.

Sometimes it blows everything apart.

And sometimes… that’s exactly what it takes to build something that lasts.
