It didn’t take long for Rachael Jones, the oldest and indisputable trend-setter of a trio of sisters raised in a home where nothing you did was ever quite right, to learn that if you were ever going to get anywhere in this world, you had to use the mind the good Lord gave you, stretch the limits, stand up for what you wanted, and not to give up until you had it. No wonder she’s had to endure so much stormy weather over the years...
If her current dilemma with Luke, the handsome business partner she wishes were more, and Mac, the rogue photographer whose lap she fell into one night when she just needed someone to hold her, follows true to form, she’s in for yet another rough time before the skies clear.
It all started when Rae decided to move back home to the quaint little town of Osage, Iowa after more than a decade of big city life. It wasn’t long before Rae found herself caught up in a major squall involving Wilmer Putt, a good old boy from the bank, and Mrs. Armerding, an elderly widow who inherited a treasure trove of architecturally significant houses. Wilbur wants to bulldoze the houses to make room for much-needed senior housing. Rae is determined to find folks who will renovate the houses and turn them into B&B’s, teahouses, and antique shops.
The only bright spot of the hostile city council meetings that ensure is that charming Mac McPhearson, the charming photographer from the Mitchell Country Messenger, is always on hand to snap a few shots. Rae might be as stubborn as all get out, but she soon learns that bucking an entire town’s infrastructure on your own is not a good thing - plus, a girl needs a little love once in awhile. Rae thinks her dreams are finally about to come true when her best friend, Luke Bruggeman proposes an intimate rendezvous - until Rae discovers what Luke has in mind is a business alliance instead of a romantic one.
Is Rachael meant to weather the storms of life with Luke, the friend who has come to know her heart and soul so intimately, or will she find the rainbow after the storm with Mac, who knows each sweet secret of her body?

You’ll find the answer in Stormy Weather... a novel by Sherrie Hansen, coming in October 2009. (If you liked Night and Day, you'll love Stormy Weather!)
Stay tuned for the latest weather forecast!
