Whiteout Warning: A Rivals to Lovers, Competence Kink Romance (The Polar Vortex Series #4)

WHEN THE WORLD GOES DARK, HE’S THE ONLY FIRE SHE CAN’T EXTINGUISH.Dr. Seraphina Kovacs lives by a simple Protocol preserves life. Chaos kills.

As the Operations Manager for Vortex Logistics, Sera controls the uncontrollable. She runs the Arctic base with surgical precision, relying on data, screens, and rigid rules to keep her crew alive in the most hostile environment on Earth. She has a contingency plan for everything.

Except for Jagger North.

Cocky, reckless, and infuriatingly talented, the contract helicopter pilot is a walking liability. Jagger flies on instinct and adrenaline, treating Sera’s carefully constructed protocols like suggestions. He’s the turbulence she can’t predict, and they’ve spent two years tearing each other apart over the comms system.

But nature doesn’t care about rules. And it definitely doesn't care about their rivalry.

When a catastrophic solar flare slams into the atmosphere, it triggers a geomagnetic storm that wipes out every satellite, radio, and digital safety net in the Arctic. The base goes dark. A convoy is missing. And Sera is forced to do the one thing she fears leave the safety of her screens and strap into the cockpit with the man she can't stand.

The mission was supposed to be a rescue. It turns into a wreck.

Now, stranded in the freezing endless night of Svalbard with a downed bird and no way to call for help, the digital world is dead. Survival is purely analog.

Stripped of her data, Sera is blind. But in the chaos of the whiteout, Jagger shines. He’s no longer just the reckless cowboy; he’s the competent, rugged protector using his bare hands to keep them alive. And when the temperature drops to forty below, the friction between them shifts from hatred to a desperate, searing heat.

There’s only one sleeping bag. There’s no one coming to save them.
And for the first time, Sera realizes that the safest place in the world might be in the arms of the man who breaks all the rules.
