  Two broken strangers on a ranch; painting a picture of second chance...  
  Struggling artist, Etta Caprice learned the hard way that passion and art don’t always mix. She’s poured herself into putting together a portfolio for a position at a university, and after a relationship gone wrong she can’t find the inspiration.  
  Until a house fire forces her to move to a small cabin on the Sutton ranch where Finn was living. The gruff and gorgeous cowboy just might be the muse she was missing.  
  Rugged rancher, Finn Sutton was busy running a ranch, and had very little time for love. He’d tried that once before— it didn’t end well, leaving him with trust issues and a calloused heart.  
  When the witty and beautiful Etta winds up on his ranch, he finds his heart softening. Finn goes out of his way to put a smile on her face, and the more time they spend together, the more her guard lowers... and the harder he falls for the woman who helped mend his heart. 
  With each laugh, he unlocks something in her and layer by layer she finds herself feeling lighter— more carefree. And it reflects in her work.  
  The connection they feel is unlike anything they’ve ever felt before. With happy ever after on the horizon, will Etta and Finn finally be able to bury the past, and look to a future together? Or will her dark secret destroy any chance they have?

  In the 1990s, strong-willed Irene Maxwell embarks on her path toward ordination as an Episcopal priest, confident in her calling but unprepared for the hidden obstacles she’ll face. During a job interview with the dean of a cathedral—conducted uncomfortably in his car—he asks Irene questions, only to interrupt her responses by poking her leg, forcing her into silence. 
  Even though women in the priesthood had become more acceptable by then, Irene soon discovers that gender biases haven’t disappeared—they’ve simply gone underground, devolving into a form of guerilla warfare. Microaggressions, sexual innuendos, and dismissive attitudes from her male colleagues are constant reminders of the unspoken resistance she faces. 
  As Irene navigates this challenging environment, she asks herself: What can I do? Who will protect me in this world? Her journey of self-discovery ultimately leads her to create a groundbreaking safe place for other women with similar experiences.  
  An Umbrella Made for a Man not only follows Irene’s personal struggles but also explores the broader question of why human beings inflict harm on each other. From acknowledging the darker sides of our nature to seeking paths toward peace, Irene’s story is one of transformation as she moves from frustration and pain toward hope, joy, and love.
