After the Rain is by Rachel Pierre. It is a novella.
Beth was worried about her husband, Sam. He missed their anniversary dinner and hadn’t had time to talk to her in a long time. She thought he was working way too hard. She decided to surprise him with dinner at his office. She was the one surprised when she found him with someone else. Totally shocked, she leaves, goes home and packs , and then drives. She has no idea where she is going or what she will do. It is a dreadfully rainy night and she runs the car off the road. She is scared silly when the rancher appears. She thinks he might be there to murder her. Instead, he takes her to his house , warms her up, and feeds her.
Ben is a retired detective who is enjoying his retirement on his ranch. He is enjoying his time alone. His dog brought his attention to her car in the ditch and he rescued her.

Beth loved her husband and she was preparing a special week long second anniversary for him. He worked such long hours that she hadn't seen him in days so she went to his office one evening and found him kissing another woman. She leaves, stopped at home to pack a bag then drove away. She didn't have any idea where she was going but while driving in a rain storm a few days later, she went off the road and got stuck. Ben scared her silly when he found her but eventually took her back to his house to dry off and warm up.

This short story tugged at my heart strings when Beth saw her husband with someone else. The plot was enjoyable but the characters names changed at times. Beth and Ben changed to Katie and Cooper. This was very confusing at first then just annoying. I liked the story right up to the point that Beth willingly had sex with Ben just days after leaving her husband. I didn't find that believable.
