Against the Wind

by Harper Jackson

FBT review:

Trapped on Hatterwick Island as a hurricane closes in, ER doctor Evie finds herself stuck with the one man she swore off for good—Daniel LaRue, the infuriatingly attractive Coast Guardsman who shattered her heart three months ago.

Against the Wind is an atmospheric, slow-burn second-chance romance perfect for indie romance readers who crave emotional tension, coastal small-town vibes, and forced proximity with real stakes. As the storm rises and the power fails, Evie and Daniel must confront buried secrets, stolen moments, and the truth about why he really left.

Expanded by 60% into a full-length novel, this new edition delivers more angst, more heat, and a deeply satisfying happily-ever-after for fans of heartfelt, character-driven romance.

Publisher Description:

The last person I expect—or want—to take shelter with as a hurricane bears down on Hatterwick Island is Daniel LaRue—the man who broke my heart barely three months ago.I’m not looking for distractions.The clinic’s been targeted by thieves.The island’s locked down tight against the storm.And Daniel—hot Coast Guardsman, bad decision, walking heartbreak—is the last thing I need complicating my life again.Coming back to the Outer Banks after med school was supposed to be a fresh start.For a while, I thought maybe I’d bring him with me.Until he accepted a promotion across the country without even telling me.It turned out he was more of a situationship than anything real.Except now he’s standing on my doorstep, insisting he’s here for me—and refusing to leave when everything in me screams to slam the door in his face.Stranded together, we have no choice but to face the storm—and the feelings I thought I'd buried.But as the hours tick by, it’s clear Daniel isn’t telling me everything.And on Hatterwick Island, secrets always come with a price.*A shorter version of this book was published in January 2025. This edition has been expanded by 60% into a full novel. As Amazon makes it the world's most difficult thing to push out a new version of a book, it is being published as complete new edition.
