A Storm Called Damon | Childhood friends to lovers, he falls first and harder

DAMON

He's magnetic and mercurial, with a hare trigger temper and hoards of friends. People orbit him like he's the sun.

ANNIE

She's shy and reserved, and would much rather spend time with her knitting needles than with other people.

They couldn't be more different, but Damon and Annie have been best friends since they were kids. She's the only person who can get through to him when he's in one of his infamous tempers, and he's one of the very few people in the world with whom she can be herself.

But they're just friends. Best friends, but still just friends - that's it, nothing more. Yeah, sure, Damon's strikingly attractive and would do anything for the few people he loves, but he's also moody and intense and...weirdly possessive of her.

Then, Damon does something that leaves Annie feeling hurt and betrayed, and for the first time ever she wonders if it's time to put her friendship with Damon in her rearview mirror.

But Damon won't let Annie go that easily. Stubborn and determined, he'll do whatever it takes to claw his way back into Annie's good books. And this time, he's not stopping at best friends, because he wants more. Much more.

And Damon always gets what he wants.
