Rainy Days And Second Chances

Laurina Crast is used to disappointment. A quiet 21-year-old with dreams of becoming an editor, she juggles college classes and waitressing shifts just to stay afloat. But everything shatters when she walks in on her boyfriend—the only man she's ever loved—entangled with her own sister. Now pregnant and heartbroken, Laurina buries her pain beneath silence and rainstorms she’s grown to fear since losing her mother. Devin Klein, a 25-year-old CEO from a wealthy lineage, lives behind polished glass walls and shadows of a painful past. Cold, calculated, and always in control, he’s preparing for his company’s golden jubilee when fate intertwines his path with Laurina’s at a catered event. Their first meeting is sharp, their second drenched in rain and trauma. Drawn to the broken girl with guarded eyes, Devin offers shelter—and unexpectedly, tenderness. As he cooks her breakfast and shields her from a storm that mirrors her soul, Laurina begins to see the man behind the money. But with enemies circling and secrets from Devin’s past threatening to resurface, the fragile connection they build is tested again and again. When a devastating scandal erupts—one that could destroy the Klein legacy—Laurina must choose whether to walk away or fight beside the man who saw her at her lowest. But trust comes slowly to a girl who’s been shattered before, and Devin must reveal the darkest truths of his family to earn it. As corporate battles rage and old wounds bleed anew, Laurina and Devin must confront the pain that shaped them—and dare to believe in a love that might just heal them.
