From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas, one of the most
beloved storytellers of our time, comes Rainshadow Road, the second
novel in the Friday Harbor series, a story that will make you believe in
the power of love and the possibility of magic.
Lucy Marinn is a glass artist living in mystical, beautiful, Friday
Harbor, Washington. She is stunned and blindsided by the most bitter
kind of betrayal: her fiancé Kevin has left her. His new lover is Lucy's
own sister. Lucy's bitterness over being dumped is multiplied by the
fact that she has constantly made the wrong choices in her romantic
life.
Facing the severe disapproval of Lucy's parents, Kevin asks his friend
Sam Nolan, a local vineyard owner on San Juan Island, to "romance" Lucy
and hopefully loosen her up and get her over her anger. Complications
ensue when Sam and Lucy begin to fall in love, Kevin has second
thoughts, and Lucy discovers that the new relationship in her life began
under false pretenses. Questions about love, loyalty, old patterns,
mistakes, and new beginnings are explored as Lucy learns that some
things in life--even after being broken--can be made into something new
and beautiful.
