Titan Racing Series Book 5 NASCAR champion Ryan McAllister has faced down 200-mile-an-hour chaos, career-threatening injury, and his own darkest thoughts. He's survived the wrecks on the track and in his mind, and now he's determined to build the life he almost lost: a soft, steady home with his wife, country star Mikaela Hunter McAllister, and their daughter, Rylie. But healing isn't as simple as getting cleared to drive. With his shoulder held together by stitches and rehab bands, Ryan can't even lift his little girl without planning it like a pit stop. Mikaela has put her career on pause again and is still finding her footing when two pink lines on a pregnancy test change everything. Rylie is only six months old. The ink is barely dry on the Racing Minds foundation. The world thinks Mikaela stepped back to support her husband's recovery, no one knows she's pregnant again. Two under two. One recovering storm. A woman who's always been the one to hold it all together... finally forced to admit she can't do it alone. As early pregnancy exhaustion collides with infant sleep regressions, physical therapy appointments, media expectations, and the noise of the outside world, Ryan and Mikaela have to learn a new kind of courage: letting people in. With the Titan Racing family, their parents, and their closest friends stepping into the trenches of everyday life, they begin to discover that "after the storm" isn't about perfection, it's about choosing to stay, to heal, and to be soft where it matters most. In a story of second chances, quiet mornings, messy living rooms, and love that limps but never quits, After The Storm asks: what happens when the biggest victory of all isn't the checkered flag, but the family waiting at home?
