The Island Storm Elana Johnson

Lisa is 36, tired of the dating scene in Getaway Bay, and practically the only wedding planner at her company that hasn't found her own happy-ever-after. She's tried dating apps and blind dates...but could the company party put a man she's known for years into the spotlight?




Lisa Ashford can't skip the party; she's in charge of the whole thing. So she goes to the top of the fancy resort, determined to step out of her comfort zone and ask someone to dance. Cal Lewiston lost his wife a couple of years ago, and he's floundering to raise his fourteen-year-old daughter alone. He does a lot of contract work for Your Tidal Forever, and when Lisa, a pretty blonde wedding planner, asks him to dance at their company party, he does something he hasn't done in a long, long time.




He says yes.




He also has to help her stay safe as a tsunami hits the island during the party. And after that, Cal and Lisa are once again thrown together as he gets hired by her HOA to repair any damage to the homes in her neighborhood. As they navigate the storms of rebuilding her house and starting a relationship, he also has to face letting go of his late wife. Lisa has to figure out how to support him as a dad and build a relationship with his daughter.




Can Cal and Lisa overcome the odds stacked against them? Or will Lisa be back to square one and facing a different kind of storm: attending another party without a date?
