Pressure & Precipitation: An Opposites Attract, Single Mom Romance (The Isobar Initiative Series #2)
Elena Raines
Verity Thorne doesn’t do "reckless." As a top-tier safety auditor, her life is a series of controlled variables and strict checklists designed to keep the world—and her young daughter—at a safe distance. She’s been sent to the Isobar Initiative with one goal: shut down the most dangerous driver on the team.
Riggs Malone is a storm-chasing adrenaline junkie with a grin that could melt steel and a driving record that’s one red light away from a permanent ban. To the world, he’s just a "Golden Retriever" behind a steering wheel—happy-go-lucky, loyal, and dangerously fast. But beneath the charm lies the mind of a high-level engineer and a shattering secret he’s been outrunning since the day he lost everything.
When a routine site inspection in the Washita Slot Canyons turns into a nightmare, the skies open up. A catastrophic flash flood transforms the narrow canyon walls into a suffocating death trap.
Now, the woman who lives by the rules must trust the man who breaks them all. As the water rises and the walls close in, Riggs is the only thing standing between Verity’s daughter and the abyss. But as the adrenaline peaks and forced proximity turns into feverish desire, the greatest danger isn’t the drowning—it’s the way Riggs makes Verity want to finally let go of the wheel.
In the heart of the storm, survival isn't about control. It’s about the person you’d die to protect.
