When the Sirens Sound

Storm warnings are nothing new in Maggie Hargrave’s small Midwestern town.

Sirens wail. Skies turn green. People pause, check the radar, then move on with their lives. They always have.

Until the night the tornado doesn’t pass them by.

Caught on a back road with nowhere to run, Maggie survives the only way she can, taking shelter in an abandoned church with the boy who left years ago chasing a future that never included her.

In the wreckage that follows, adrenaline fades. Grief settles in. And the connection they’ve spent years pretending doesn’t exist becomes impossible to ignore.

But Knox Callahan was never meant to stay. And Maggie has already learned what it feels like to be the one left behind.

Now, as the town rebuilds and real life closes in, she must decide if what they found in the storm was real or just another moment that will disappear when he does.

Because sometimes the sky isn’t the only thing that breaks.

Sometimes it’s your heart.
