Publisher's Synopsis
A Clouds and Rain Story After an affair with a married DA led to scandal and disbarment, Cooper Nelson left his legal career in shambles, and found solace working as a hand at the Blue River Ranch. Eight years later, during a rare visit into town, Cooper bumps into Kelly Freed, a man he left behind fifteen years earlier when he started out as an attorney. Unfortunately, Kelly is running for sheriff and his wife is terminally ill, so Kelly can't even consider rekindling their relationship. Cooper knows from sad experience that hiding the truth leads to lives being ruined, so for his part, he refuses to be anybody's dirty secret. In the meantime circumstances at neighboring Blackwater Ranch have taken a desperate turn. Gable's friend Calley has breast cancer, and when Gable and Flynn take in Calley's kids, they need help from their friends. Cooper and Kelly's combined talents are put to work to ensure Gable can make a bid to become the legal father of his children, and that Calley's affairs are in order if worse comes to worst. For Cooper, staying away from Kelly was never easy, and now with a common cause, Cooper finds he can't stop himself from seeking the man out.
