Climax Creek is a small, quaint town situated between Greensboro and Sanford in North Carolina. Bordered by I-85 and three North Carolina state highways, it's occupied by less than sixteen hundred people. Climax Creek is the kind of town where you won't find a Starbucks, but you can get a great cup of coffee from Paulina down at Cool Beans. Watch out for Paulina- she'll talk your ear off if you let her. Down at Phipps Pharmacy, Quinn Phipps has got a cure for whatever might be ailing you. Say the wrong thing to your significant other? Minnie Hughes has got an "apology special" running down at her flower shop- she'll fix you up. Feel the need for some spiritual guidance? Climax Creek has four churches- take your pick. If you're looking for something fancy and pretentious, this isn't the place. But if you're looking for a little Southern comfort, the kind that you can't get out of a bottle, then stop on by.
A Summer Storm...
A holiday weekend is upon Climax Creek, and Ava Hutchens is ready for the break. She's looking forward to shuttering her antiques store for the three day weekend, and getting in some reading and relaxing. Bad weather intervenes, and she finds herself trapped in the store with a last minute shopper- none other than the Too-Fine-For-Words Micheal Dunn. He's soaked to the bone, his clothes clinging to his muscular frame, and she can't seem to keep her eyes on his face.
A Humid Encounter...
Micheal Dunn needs to grab his mother's birthday gift ahead of her weekend birthday party, and in his haste, ventures out into the storm. As the winds, rain, and hail swirl, he decides to shelter in place. What started out as a quick shopping excursion becomes so much more, because before long, the close quarters and an already budding attraction lead to a mind-blowing night of lovemaking.
A Complicated Affair...
Ava can't resist Micheal's charms and carnal skills, but can't abide his attitude- he has no idea of the pain and rejection she's endured. Micheal wants to explore what he and Ava could have, but he can't seem to do right by her, and she keeps pushing him away. Their new relationship is as stormy as the weather during their first lovemaking session. With the social event of the year approaching, can they find a way to settle their differences, or will their chance at bliss in each other's arms be lost forever?
