RELEASE BLITZ – Against The Wind (Wayward Sons Novella) by Harper Jackson
AGAINST THE WIND
Wayward Sons Novella
Harper Jackson
Release Date: January 31
The last person I expect—or want—to take shelter with as a hurricane descends on Hatterwick Island is Daniel LaRue, the man who broke my heart barely three months ago.
I don’t have time for… whatever this is. My medical clinic has been targeted by thieves—hardly a month after returning to my home town. Coming back to the Outer Banks was always the plan after med school, and for a while in residency, I thought I might bring the hot Coast Guardsman with me. Right up until he accepted a new promotion without talking to me.
Turned out he was more of a situationship than anything real.
Except now he’s appeared on my doorstep, declaring he’s on the Outer Banks for me, and despite my considerable temper pointed in his direction, he insists on helping me weather the storm. Literally.
Stranded together, we have no choice but to deal with the chemistry still sizzling between us. I can’t deny that he still affects me. But as the hours tick by, I start to realize there’s more to his arrival on the island than he’s telling me—and I long ago learned that the secrets of Hatterwick Island are always dangerous.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy
I thoroughly enjoyed this novella. My only complaint was there wasn’t enough of it!!!! 😈
ATW gave us an insight into Gabi’s time off island when she left to attend college. When we catch up with her it’s a few years later and she’s home to work at the local island clinic which was always her plan.
While she was away she met a guy who was a coastguard and for the time they were together she thought this was the real deal with a future, until the day he dropped a bomb and put his career before them! Gabi’s heart is busted and she feels they were more a situationship than a relationship.
Daniel knew he’d messed up pretty much right away – well yeah, the lack of discussion or communication on taking a new post with the gal you’ve been getting serious with was his first misstep…. but he sets about trying to fix things.
He’s the last person Gabi expects to see arrive to help the town get organized before a hurricane hits the island. To say she’s not best pleased would be an understatement.
You would think that Daniel would have leaned from his first mess up with Gabi that communication was key… hey, no!!
He’s there partly to assist hurricane prep but there’s a bigger reason and he doesn’t tell her. Will this pair ever manage to work things out? 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ I did enjoy the intrigue that story line brought to the book.
I liked that this novella filled a question I had from Sawyer & Willa’s book. We had seen Gabi and Daniel in that and I was curious about both her being back home and who he was.
HJ gave us a great epilogue extra for this pair that made me way happy as their book kinda finished in a happy for now note.
I’m looking forward to catching up with the couple and the other characters we’ve met so far as the series continues.
