The black funnel of an approaching tornado makes all other troubles seem small. But when Indiana State Trooper Chance Hamlin "rescues" Allie Craine from a twister, his troubles are just beginning--Allie, a disaster photographer, rescues him when he drives into the storm's path. Chance doesn't like being rescued, he doesn't like photographers, and he definitely doesn't like being stuck with Allie when she wants to stay in calm, peaceful Indiana. Too bad his family, friends, and even the other members of Chance's volunteer fire department think she's great. Suspicious of Allie's motives, he decides to drive her away out of sheer boredom--but that's not so easy when someone begins causing fires and other catastrophes around the area. That someone might be Allie, who has plans of her own...
