Hurricane Kiss - Hardcover

"Hurricane Kiss is a beautifully woven story of love, secrets, and survival. I was captivated by Jillian's and River's stories and the way Blumenthal artfully unfolds their past secrets alongside the present danger of a category 5 hurricane. Fast-paced and emotional--I couldn't put it down." Jillian Cantor, author of "Margot" and "The Hours Count"
