Audrey Pride is trapped in Thunder Ridge. The typically dry-as-a-bone small town is deluged with rain for weeks, preventing travel in or out--and the wagon train that gets stranded in town is plagued with a violent illness.

The three friends who had planned to be the schoolmarms in the three neighboring towns of Thunder Ridge, Beeder's Cove, and Blackberry Hill now must find other ways to earn their keep, But all this distraction doesn't stop Audrey's fascinations with the widower Eli Gray. Her feelings continue to grow, especially now that she's started to take care of Eli's son during his grandmother's sickness. But Eli had built a wall around his heart. After losing his wife while he was away at war, he's never forgive himself and does not seem interested in opening his life up to anyone new. But as the town sags under the weight of water and illness, they must come to depend on each other in ways they never thought possible. Will Audrey be able to convince Eli that he deserves more than a solitary existence?

How will Audrey and her fellow schoolmarms stay afloat when a flood threatens their small Texas town?

Typically, Thunder Ridge, Texas, is dry as a bone. But Audrey Pride has arrived under a storm cloud, one that is deluging the shocked community with weeks of relentless, drenching rain. With travel in and out of town rendered impossible, there is much important work for her to do—especially when an epidemic of violent illness, originating from a stranded wagon train, spreads rapidly throughout Thunder Ridge. Caring for the sick is consuming Audrey's every waking hour...yet her thoughts keep returning to the attractive widower Eli Gray.

Eli has long been haunted by the fact that he was away at war when his beloved wife died in childbirth. Little by little, however, he is opening his heart again. Now, as their town sags under the crushing weight of water and disease, Audrey and Eli will need to depend on each other in ways they never imagined possible.
