Rainshadow Road — Lisa Kleypas

TAKE A JOURNEY TO THE MOST ROMANTIC READ OF YOUR LIFE WITH THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE FRIDAY HARBOR TRILOGY -- A STORY ABOUT LOVE, LOSS, AND THE POWERFUL POSSIBILITY OF MAGIC.

Lucy Marinn is a glass artist living in mystical, beautiful Friday Harbor, Washington, with a boyfriend, Kevin, who she believes is her soul mate. She has always had a magical side -- a gift that finds its way into the breathtaking glasswork she creates -- and she struggles to keep it contained. But when Lucy is blindsided by the most bitter kind of betrayal, she questions many of her choices. Her boyfriend leaves her and his new lover is none other than Lucy's own sister. Lucy's bitterness over this devastation is multiplied by the fact that she has constantly made the wrong choices in her romantic life.

Meanwhile, facing the severe disapproval of Lucy's family, Kevin asks his friend Sam Nolan, a local vineyard owner on San Juan Island, to "romance" Lucy so that she can more easily move on. But when Sam and Lucy begin to feel real sparks between them, Lucy must ask herself if she can easily risk her heart again.

As Lucy questions her beliefs about love, loyalty, old patterns, mistakes, and new beginnings, she explores the possibility that some things in life -- even after being broken -- can be re-made into something beautiful. And that it is only by discovering who you really are that you can find the one who truly deserves you.
