Calvin Ellis's neat and orderly life is shattered when his grandfather dies, leaving him ownership of a quirky bookstore in Big Sur, California. The Mad Ones: once a place famous for poetry readings and bohemian rebellion, it now teeters on the brink of financial ruin.
Lucia Bell's glamorous life as a super model is put into stark perspective when she shows up for a photo shoot, at a bookstore, in the middle of nowhere. She finds herself oddly intrigued by the quiet, nerdy owner with the huge glasses reading behind the register.
One night they share a passionate and frenzied kiss against a bookshelf. Outside the store, lightning strikes. Trees topple. And the world shakes beneath their feet.
As the storm tears its way through Big Sur, Calvin and Lucia share and explore their most secret desires. Hopes and dreams they once thought lost are recaptured. But inevitably, as reality roars back, they find themselves stuck at a crossroads.
Two conflicting paths. And each must make their own decision.
Which life will they choose? And will it include the other?
Authors Note: Opposites attract. Shy nerd (with a dirty mouth). Gorgeous supermodel. Secret love notes. Poetry. Hidden desires. Quirky small towns and funky book stores. Hot springs. Wild storms. True love.

About the Author
Kathryn Nolan is an adventurous hippie chick that loves to write steamy romance. Her specialty is slow-burn sexual tension, with plenty of witty dialogue and tons of heart. Kathryn started her writing career in elementary school, writing about Star Wars and Harry Potter and inventing love stories in her many journals. She blames her obsession with slow-burn on her similar obsession for The X-Files. Kathryn recently got back from an epic, six-month road trip, traveling across the country with her nerdy husband in their van, Van Morrison. She's a wanderer at heart, and loves to spend her free time hiking, camping, and traveling as often as she can. She also digs feminism, foreplay, and spending her mornings writing romance novels (with a strong cup of coffee, of course).
