During the long, arduous voyage of the ark, Noah discovers that the sheep's wool has become matted into a strange material, for which he finds a practical use once the ark has come to rest atop a mountain.

Harland Day knows what it's like to be on rock bottom: he's been there before, years ago when his mother walked out and left him behind. But he learned how to play the game and survived, crawling his way up with the help of a friend-turned-lover. This time was different: he has nobody to blame but himself for his trip to the bottom. And this time, he doesn't have anyone to help him, not when his own selfishness killed the most important relationship he ever had. Courtney Williams' life wasn't exactly what she had planned but she was happy. It wasn't glamorous and it wouldn't lead to fame and fortune, but she of all people knows there are more important things in life. And, for the most part, she's been able to forget what could have been--until Harland rolls back into town, full of attitude designed to hide the man underneath. But he can't hide from her, the one person who knows him better than anyone else. They had been friends. They had been lovers. And then they had been torn apart by misunderstanding and betrayal. But some ties are harder to break. Can they look past what had been and move forward to what could be? Or will the sins of the past haunt them even now, all these years later?

From birth, Noah Hogarty has lived with severe cerebral palsy. He is nearly blind, unable to speak, and cannot run, walk, or crawl. Yet his mind works just as well as any other twelve-year-old’s—maybe even better. And Noah holds a secret dream: to become a great spy, following in the footsteps of his aunt, Liv “Boots” Bergen. Now, freshly returned from training at Quantico, FBI agent Liv Bergen is thrown into her first professional case. Working side by side with veteran agent Streeter Pierce, enigmatic agent and lover Jack Linwood, and her bloodhound Beulah, Liv must race to find five-year-old Max—last seen at the Denver International Airport—before this Christmastime abduction turns deadly. Meanwhile Noah, housebound, becomes wrapped up in identifying the young face he sees watching him from his neighbor’s bedroom window, but he can neither describe nor inscribe what he knows. And his investigation may lead to Noah paying the ultimate price in fulfilling his dream. Noah’s Rainy Day (the fourth novel in Brannan’s mystery series) combines classic Liv Bergen irreverence and brainpower with an unflinching look at the darkest of human motivations, all while a whirlpool of increasingly terrifying events threatens to engulf Liv and Noah both in one final rainy day.
