One stormy evening, she misses her train and finds shelter under a station canopy—where a warm voice cuts through the downpour.

A rival’s confession threatens to tear them apart, and distance looms when Tokyo offers Ren a chance at the stage he’s always dreamed of. Through misunderstandings, longing, and the quiet courage of their hearts, Aoi and Ren discover that each kiss, each sketch, and each song is more than fleeting—it’s a promise.

After losing everything that once made her feel alive, Amelia Hart returns to Willow Bay—a quiet coastal town where the rain never seems to rest and her memories still breathe. She opens a small flower shop, hoping the fragrance of new petals can silence the echoes of old wounds. She doesn’t expect anyone to notice her. She doesn’t expect anyone to stay. But then she meets Ethan Cole—the gentle, soft-spoken architect tasked with restoring the town’s abandoned library. He has his own shadows, his own regrets, yet he carries a kindness Amelia hasn’t felt in years. Where others rush, Ethan waits. Where others push, Ethan listens. Where others see a broken heart, he sees someone still capable of blooming. Drawn together by quiet mornings, shared silences, and the soft rhythm of Willow Bay’s endless rain, Amelia begins to discover pieces of herself she thought were long gone. And Ethan—patient, steady, impossibly warm—becomes the first person she dares to trust again. But healing is never simple. And falling in love requires more courage than she ever imagined. In a town where flowers whisper stories and rain washes old wounds clean, two fragile hearts learn to grow again—slowly, gently, beautifully. Petals in the Rain is a tender slow-burn romance about second chances, emotional healing, and the kind of love that doesn’t demand… it simply stays.

But everything changes when he stumbles—literally—into The Roasted Haven, a cozy coffee shop near his university, and meets its enigmatic owner, Elias Carter. Elias, a 30-year-old former corporate worker turned café owner, is everything Noah isn’t—calm, composed, and hiding a mysterious past behind his charming smirk. Drawn into Elias's world of rich espresso, rainy evenings, and stolen glances, Noah finds himself coming back to the café for reasons beyond coffee. As their flirtation deepens into a passionate affair, Noah struggles with his growing emotions and the looming question of what Elias is hiding. When secrets from Elias’s past threaten to tear them apart, Noah must decide—will he walk away, or will he risk everything for the man who has become his greatest temptation? -------------- Excerpt: Noah didn’t know how he ended up in Elias’s apartment above the café, but the heat between them was undeniable. The scent of roasted coffee lingered in the air, mixing with the musk of Elias’s cologne as he pressed Noah against the wooden counter. "You keep coming back," Elias murmured, his fingers tracing Noah’s jaw. Noah swallowed, his heart hammering. "Maybe I like the coffee." Elias chuckled, his breath warm against Noah’s lips. "Liar." And then their mouths crashed together—hot, needy, desperate. Noah gasped as Elias’s hands slid under his hoodie, fingertips skimming the bare skin beneath. Every nerve in his body ignited as Elias lifted him onto the counter, positioning himself between Noah’s legs. "Tell me what you want," Elias whispered, voice low and teasing. Noah shivered. "You." Elias smirked. "Then hold on tight, baby." ------

Isabelle Cole, 26, is the epitome of composure. After her husband left her four years ago, she’s built her life around precision — raising her children, Becca (6) and Luke (5), while excelling as the executive assistant to powerful CEO Richard Hale. Richard sees her as indispensable — the calm at the center of his storm — but his wife, Elaine, sees her as a threat. When Richard brings in Robert Blake, an old friend, to lead a high-profile PR project, Isabelle's world tilts. Robert is cold, brilliant, and dismissive — and seems to believe she’s just another pretty face coasting on charm. She resents his arrogance, his condescension… and how much space he suddenly takes up in her professional life. But as Isabelle battles to prove her worth, another threat emerges — Deadlines start slipping, files go missing, and Isabelle begins to suspect sabotage. Piece by piece, she uncovers the truth through her sharp intuition and unflappable professionalism. That’s when Robert starts to see her differently. Not with warmth, but with respect. For the first time, something flickers behind his cool exterior: an awareness that Isabelle Cole is far more than anyone gives her credit for.
