Meet Me When It Rains

At forty-four, Marisol Navarro has a divorce behind her, a daughter in college, and an apartment in Portland full of boxes she'd rather ignore. Her plan is simple. Settle into her new job at the children's hospital. Stop answering her ex-husband's calls. Figure out what she wants for once.

Then she tells a very handsome man with a guitar to keep it down.

Nick Cruz takes the criticism surprisingly well. Unfortunately, he's even harder to resist when he's being charming. What starts with an awkward apology becomes coffee, late-night conversations, and the unsettling pleasure of being wanted by someone who actually listens. He also has a suspiciously generous definition of a simple date.

But beneath Nick's easy humor and extraordinary wealth is a loss he rarely speaks about. Every rainstorm brings it closer. And as Mari begins imagining a future with him, her ex returns with apologies she once would have given anything to hear.

When a lie threatens their fragile new relationship, Mari must decide how much of her heart she's willing to risk again. Nick must decide whether he can let her.

Warm, emotional, and deeply romantic, Meet Me When It Rains is a story about second chances, grief, and the courage it takes to love again.
