Rainbows

Katherine Stone’s bestselling novel RAINBOWS . . .

She sat by the telephone in her suite, waiting for his midnight call, watching the hands of the clock move so slowly toward twelve. The knock didn’t register at first, and when it did, she moved reluctantly to open the door. It would be a bouquet of winter roses and a brief message of apology . . .

But it was the man she loved, his blue eyes dark-circled, his beloved face pale and drawn.

“Oh,” she breathed as she touched the taut skin beneath his eyes. “Oh, you’re here.”

She led him into the room and into her bed, and to the magical place of peace that was their love. He had believed that gentle, fragile place was gone, trampled by the monstrous emotions that raged within him. But for one night of exquisite intimacy, the monsters were still and the churning restlessness was calmed, and there was only the tenderness of their love . . .

Alexandra and Catherine Taylor are sisters—and strangers. Each longs for the closeness they have never had, never knowing how to reach out to the other and discovering, when at last they decide to try, that it’s almost too late . . . for shocking secrets, inner demons, and tragic loves stand in their way.

As the star of Pennsylvania Avenue, TV’s hottest primetime drama, Alexa has it all, beauty, fame, and fortune. Her off-screen life is even more dramatic. She's in love with a powerful man who cannot promise her more than their secret nights of pleasure. Alexa accepts this compromise without question, not knowing that her clandestine passion will drive a deeper wedge between herself and Catherine.

Gifted concert pianist Catherine has always let her music shield her from the world. But even her magnificent gift, and her beloved music, cannot shield her from the devastating truth of who she is, and who she is not. Catherine hides the terrible secret, even as she searches for answers. Her courageous journey will take her to a glittering Mediterranean isle . . . and into the arms of a man who will make her whole.

Desire and heartbreak, passion and love. Alexa and Catherine must travel those perilous journeys of the heart before they can be the sisters they want to be and find the happiness that awaits them both at the end of their rainbows.
