Summary: He was supposed to bring her home; He didn't expect to fall in love. When Colton Wolfe tells Katie the truth behind her adoption, she returns to her birth family's home to reclaim what's hers. As she spends the summer repairing the house she inherited, she and Cole will bond, becoming friends and blossoming into something more.

Colton: Half-Breed. Bastard. A young Mvskoke man whose time in a boarding school and on the battlefield had nearly destroyed everything good and innocent inside of him. Jaded and alone, he doesn't see a hopeful future for himself. It's only when a dying Seminole woman reaches out to Cole for a not so simple task that a spark he thought died long ago is reignited in his heart.

Katie: Raised by whites, spirited and hot-headed Katie Richmond, never knew the ways of her people, but then again, she never thought much about it. Her adoptive family gave her all the love she thought she needed until he came into her life. Now she longs for the family and culture she lost all those years ago.All Rights Reserved

Hurricane Love by ARNovels

☑️Completed☑️ 🥇1st Place in Teen Fiction | The Aspirants Awards🥇 "Ryker sighed and swiped his face frustratedly with the palm of his hand. 'Look, I'm not interested in having this conversation with, you, Amelia,' he said, looking everywhere but at me. 'It's time for you to leave because I have a train to catch.' 'You know what, Ryker?' I said, my voice weak and soft as I tried to stop it from shaking. 'I think I've figured out the real reason they call you The Hurricane; they come into people's lives unannounced and uninvited and destroy every single thing in their path before they decide to leave again, without a clue or care for the devastation they leave behind.' Ignoring the haunted expression on his face as he took in my words, I spun on my heel and walked out the door, hoping to never see the piece of shit ever again." Life hasn't been easy for 16-year old Amelia Woods. Most of her life she spent being passed around the foster care system until finally being adopted by her parents and moving to the quirky little town of Richmond where she met her dream boyfriend Mason Miller. Life couldn't be better for Amelia - then arrives Ryker Jordan; Mason's childhood best friend who disappeared from town years ago and decides to make his return. He is obnoxious and arrogant and the very definition of a rebel; someone that Amelia finds herself hating with a passion and she has no idea how he gets under her skin so easily. As much as Ryker gets on her very last nerve and makes every effort to annoy her, there comes a point when she realises that he is just like her in many ways she did not realise and slowly but surely, Amelia finds herself wanting to know more and more about him. What she does not realise, is just how life-changing her curiosity is going to become and that once she lets herself go there, there's no coming back.
