Aiden Cole has no time for love. After losing his wife, he devoted himself to raising his daughter and keeping his offshore oil rig crew safe. But as Hurricane Julian, a category five storm, barrels down on the Gulf, Aiden faces a crisis that goes beyond the storm. Two of his crewmen are critically injured, and the only chance of saving them is Ariel Black, a fearless helicopter pilot on a mission to evacuate the wounded.
Ariel's focus is on the mission, not romance. But when the hurricane arrives ahead of schedule, grounding her helicopter and trapping her on the rig, Ariel finds herself relying on Aiden for strength as they battle nature's fury. Their forced proximity brings unexpected closeness, and sparks fly as the storm rages around them. Aiden, the guarded single dad, and Ariel, the independent pilot, discover a connection neither thought they'd feel again. But survival is far from guaranteed. As the storm of the century batters the rig, testing their courage and resilience, Aiden and Ariel must fight to protect the lives of those depending on them-and their own chance at happiness. Saving Ariel is a steamy, second chance romantic suspense that combines high-stakes action with a love story forged in the heart of disaster. Perfect for fans of protective heroes, strong heroines, and adrenaline-filled romance, this gripping tale proves that even in the fiercest storm, love can prevail.
