Riding It Out

Part One

The Storm

One woman
One man
An empty bed and breakfast
A summer storm
One night they'll never forget - so they thought...

When my aunt passed away and left me her dilapidated bed and breakfast it was all so surreal. I hadn't been back to that beach in many years, and the idea of revisiting left me sad and vulnerable.
I never planned on having guests. In fact, I just wanted to close up the place and sell it, so that I could move on with my life.
Then the storm happened.
Taken by surprise, I planned on waiting for it to pass. The house creaked and the power went out. That's when someone knocked on the door.
He was a stranger, dripping wet, cold, and looking for shelter. I couldn't turn him away...
What happened next between us opened new doors, changing everything I thought I wanted for myself.
The only question is if I can trust him, or will his past destroy it all?

Part 2

The Hurricane

I'm a man with secrets, buried deep where I think no one will ever discover. I've run far enough away and started over. My new life is ideal, almost perfect.

Then something happens and all bets are off. There are some actions that are unforgivable. My past could cost me the one thing that I value the most in this world. My new life.
