Fire & rain - Diane Chamberlain

Valle Rosa, a small drought-weary town in Southern California, is being destroyed by wildfires which race through the tinder-dry brush of the canyons, claiming homes and lives. 

Carmen Perez is a tough investigative reporter struggling to regain the respect of her colleagues after an emotional breakdown.

Young, vulnerable sculptor, Mia Tanner, is intent on escaping her emotions.

And Jeff Cabrio is the handsome, mysterious stranger with a proposal that could bring prosperity and renewal to the town. Is he a con-man or can he really make it rain?

As they struggle to keep their secrets hidden, three lives become irrevocably entwined and each is forced to face the ghosts of their pasts.
