There are some of the key elements of the plot that I am able to remember.

* Isolated town:
The story takes place in a small, remote town (on Earth) completely surrounded by a massive sandstorm/duststorm, preventing anyone from leaving. The main character, a girl who is driving away from her home and her mom, is trapped. When she tries to drive out of the town, while going directly straight, comes right back into the town.



* Mysterious stranger:
A man with a mysterious past appears in the town, seemingly unaffected by the sandstorm and offering the protagonist a glimmer of hope. They have a unique relationship and end up having a night together in the first book. I remember this happening in an old house within the town.



* Forbidden love:
As the protagonist and the mysterious man grow closer, their relationship blossoms amidst the dire circumstances, creating a sense of forbidden love.



* Survival elements:
The story would likely include challenges related to the harsh environment, like finding food and water, dealing with the sandstorm's effects, and potential dangers within the town itself. There are a few others that live in the town but don't seem to notice the storm (I think?). I believe there is at least one other character that works within the diner that the protagonist was first in.



I am confident that it is a Young Adult novel, and may fall into science fiction but I am not sure. I know that it is a 3 part book series, but I only read the first one.

TIA!
