IN STORMY WEATHER
By Chelsea Curto
Oak Valley Series – Book 1

When two rival meteorologists chase the same storms, sparks are bound to fly!

From bestselling romance author Chelsea Curto comes an electrifying, spicy romantic comedy filled with academic rivalry, forced proximity, witty banter, and chemistry hotter than a Florida summer.

Quincy Monroe has worked hard for everything she's accomplished.

With a PhD in atmospheric sciences, a successful online weather show, and more than one million Instagram followers, Quincy has established herself as a respected meteorologist in a competitive, male-dominated industry.

She's intelligent.

She's ambitious.

And she's not about to let anyone stand in her way.

Especially Sebastian Dunn.

Sebastian is everything Quincy finds infuriating.

He's her best friend's brother, her longtime academic rival, and a ridiculously handsome television meteorologist from New York City.

He's charming, confident, and accustomed to getting exactly what he wants.

And Quincy wants absolutely nothing to do with him.

Unfortunately, the weather has other plans.

When a record-breaking hurricane season brings them together in Florida, Quincy and Sebastian find themselves forced to work in close proximity while chasing dangerous storms.

Between high-pressure situations, professional competition, and increasingly personal conversations, their rivalry begins transforming into something neither anticipated.

The tension is electric.

The banter is relentless.

And their chemistry is becoming impossible to ignore.

But falling for your biggest rival might be even more dangerous than chasing a hurricane.

Can Quincy and Sebastian put aside their differences long enough to discover what's really brewing between them?

Or will their stubborn hearts get swept away in the storm?

IN STORMY WEATHER is a steamy, emotional, laugh-out-loud romance filled with strong women in STEM, swoon-worthy heroes, thrilling adventures, and unforgettable chemistry.

Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood, B.K. Borison, and spicy rivals-to-lovers romances!
