Take one determined lady and a handsome, mysterious man, throw them into the eye of a hurricane and what do you get?

A comedy with enough gale force romance and adventure to truly be called "the storm of the century.

Their relationship began with a bang!

Correy - corporate, practical focused on her career and determined not to let anything stand in the way of success with her new job.

Dan - not long after helping Correy when her car broke down during a hurricane, he realized he was going to be her new boss. But the intense attraction he felt for her made him hide that little fact.

They met one rainy night and were carried away by the intensity of their passion that rivaled the lighting crackling around them.

As their working relationship throws them into impossible situations and each other's arms, Dan has a lot of explaining to do and Correy must make a decision.

Was the rainy night a mere coincidence or the start of an adventure that would lead them to love?

Reviews:

“Think Tracy-Hepburn. Think Jayne Anne Krentz. Think Kathye Quick. ONE RAINY NIGHT sparkles with witty repartee between two strong characters who meet in the middle of a hurricane. He's brandishing a tire-iron and she fears he's a serial killer. A delightful comedy of errors ensues. You'll find yourself chuckling at every turn. Don't miss this book!”
-Christine Janssen, author of STAND ON YOUR OWN (4 Stars, Romance Times)

“The first meeting on the job is funny, as is most of this highly entertaining romp of a book. It's complete with too much stock, mismatched invoices, bad guys, chases, and the thawing of preconceived dictums. I liked this book. Good dialogue, a different job setting, (truck lines, accountant as heroine), lots of humor and funny situations. I hope to see more of Kathye's books. And  soon.“
-Dovey Jacoby, ROMANCE CENTRAL

“ONE RAINY NIGHT is a charming story of two people who are meant to be together – if only she would put aside the past.  The author’s first-hand knowledge of a hurricane adds emotional elements to the beginning.  I enjoyed the comic elements especially when they literally fell into each other’s arms.”
-FOUR STARS, Diane Burton, Scribes World

Kathye Quick has crafted a charming story in her debut novel. An experienced survivor of a hurricane herself (she lost her home in Hurricane Floyd), Kathye brings a wealth of realistic description to her tale. Look for more exciting romance to come from this New Jersey author in the future.

Excerpt:

Correy watched Dan's face change into a picture of charm with almost no effort, his eyes using every bit of candle power they possessed to accent the teasing glint in the corners. Daniel Bennet was not only good-looking, but confident, personable and cocky; not too cocky, just enough to make him very interesting. She began to wonder how many hearts he might have broken along the way with even knowing that he had. Normally she wouldn't even consider doing something like having dinner with a total stranger, but the sensual look in Dan's eyes and the fun-loving smile on his face was playing havoc with her pulse. It was also reason for her to think there might be some hope for this vacation of hers after all.
