Cari North has a devastatingly horrible day. She chances upon her ex-fiancé, Lance, as he is about to bury a body in the woods. She runs back home just as a tornado hits, killing her parents and her look-a-like cousin, Susan, who had just arrived for a visit. Desperate to hide from Lance and injured badly herself with a huge gash on her head as well as cuts, bruises and splintered hands, Cari puts her coat on her dead cousin and takes off in her cousin's car.

Driving to Baton Rouge, trying to make it to her cousin's house, Cari collapses in traffic and is rushed to the hospital. The hospital calls Susan's emergency contact, her boss Michael Boudreaux. Even though she is bruised and battered, Mike knows she is not Susan. After Cari explains the deception, Mike agrees to let her hide out in his house. As Cari's face starts to heal, Mike sees the resemblance but notices the differences as well. He agrees to help Cari in her plan to return home and find the body before approaching law enforcement, since her ex-fiancé is a well-respected member of the small community and she has no proof. After cutting her hair and putting on more bandages as a disguise, Cari lies to everyone and pretends to be Susan at her family's funeral.

It seems the nightmare won't end as she realizes Lance knows her too well and her rouse didn't work with him. He attempts to kill her, but is thwarted. Cari now knows she has to come forward and make her claims before someone else is killed. She has fallen in love with Mike and she doesn't want anything to happen to him. Mike was Susan's best friend and he was never attracted to her, but Cari has captured his heart and soul and he'll protect her at whatever cost.

BLOWN AWAY, the first of three Storm Front stories, moves at a clipped pace, as the pieces of Cari's life are blown apart physically and emotionally. Sharon Sala captures the raw pain one must feel after such devastation. BLOWN AWAY is a poignant, suspenseful story that will engross you.
