Rainbow Falls...where life is filled with vivid color. Olive Green's world has turned upside down. The future she thought she was building is gone.

Will a man barricaded behind walls fortified with shame be strong enough to let the light in? Each book in the Rainbow Falls series is a complete romance that can be enjoyed on its own. Due to the nature of this close-knit community, though, it may be best to read the books in order.
