Description

For the first time, two beloved novels by Debbie Macomber—*Shadow Chasing* and *Laughter in the Rain*—are available in one volume. These heartwarming stories explore the unexpected paths to true love and the joy of life’s surprises.

In *Shadow Chasing*, Carla Walker is looking forward to a relaxing week in the sun-soaked beauty of Mexico. Romance is the last thing on her mind—until she meets Philip Garrison. Their undeniable connection takes her by surprise, but when she discovers that Philip is a police officer, just like her father, she feels compelled to walk away. Having sworn to avoid the unpredictable life that comes with loving a cop, Carla ends their romance despite Philip’s determination to win her over. However, back home in Seattle, she can’t stop thinking about him. Now, Carla must decide if she’s willing to follow her heart, even if it means letting go of the one deal-breaker she never imagined compromising on.

In *Laughter in the Rain*, Abby Carpenter has spent years in a comfortable relationship with Logan Fletcher, a dependable and kind man who has always been there for her. She enjoys her volunteer work teaching English, but deep down, she craves the kind of passion she’s only read about in books. Then she meets Tate Harding, a charming and adventurous stranger who makes her feel things she never expected. Suddenly, she is torn between the safety of the familiar and the thrill of the unknown. When Logan forces her to make a choice, Abby must decide whether to hold on to the steady love she knows or embrace the whirlwind romance she longs for.
