Synopsis

Following the USA Today bestseller, Lost and Found Sisters, comes Rainy Day Friends, Jill Shalvis' moving story of heart, loss, betrayal, and friendship.

Six months after Lanie Jacobs' husband's death, it's hard to imagine anything could deepen her sense of pain and loss. But then Lanie discovers she isn't the only one grieving his sudden passing. A serial adulterer, he left behind several other women who, like Lanie, each believe she was his legally wedded wife.

Rocked by the infidelity, Lanie is left to grapple with searing questions. How could she be so wrong about a man she thought she knew better than anyone? Will she ever be able to trust another person? Can she even trust herself?

Desperate to make a fresh start, Lanie impulsively takes a job at the family-run Capriotti Winery. At first, she feels like an outsider among the boisterous Capriottis. With no real family of her own, she's bewildered by how quickly they all take her under their wing and make her feel like she belongs. Especially Mark Capriotti, a gruffly handsome Air Force veteran turned deputy sheriff who manages to wind his way into Lanie's cold, broken heart--along with the rest of the clan.

Everything is finally going well for her, but the arrival of River Green changes all that. The fresh-faced twenty-one-year old seems as sweet as they come...until her dark secrets come to light--secrets that could destroy the new life Lanie's only just begun to build.

About this title

Review

"With a fast pace and a lovely mix of romance and self-discovery, Shalvis's novel is chock-full of magnetic characters and seamless storytelling, rich with emotions, and impossible to put down."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"This second book in the "Wildstone" series displays best-selling author Shalvis's knack for creating witty, humorous, warmhearted characters dealing with complex emotional situations. Fans of Susan Mallery or Kristan Higgins will be adding this to their stack of summer beach reads."--Library Journal

From the Back Cover

It's a setup, pure and simple. Somebody did a professional job of making it look like a reckless young man raped and killed a beautiful blond disc jockey in the office of his racing stables. And only one man can find out why.

Ex-homicide detective Roland Troy is living peacefully in the Florida backwaters when he receives a call from his old flame, Clara Roseman. Troy is her last hope to clear her son's name before he is convicted of the heinous crime.

Troy wants to see justice done, but in order to do so, he must open the doors to a culture and a conspiracy he thought he'd long left behind. Years ago, he'd been initiated into the secret martial arts society Prancing Tiger, and now the deadly path toward the truth will send him back into its clutches.

Forced to relive the senseless tragedies and searing betrayals that changed his life forever, thrown back on the wisdom of both his Native American friends and his CIA contacts, Troy must once again confront the powerfully dangerous man by whose grace he lives, and who may decide this time it is convenient for Troy to die. . . .
