Her Letter to the Rain

A postcard. Five words. Fifteen years of silence shattered in an instant. Emma Hartley built a life in New York designed to forget—a successful writing career, a carefully ordered existence, and absolute distance from her past. When a mysterious postcard arrives from Prague carrying five words in handwriting she'd never forgotten, she's forced to confront the one person she spent fifteen years trying to escape. James Caldwell never stopped looking for her. From Berlin to Prague, through exhibitions and accolades, he carried her with him like a photograph he couldn't stop taking. But he also understood that some loves demand to be released. Until the moment he realized that letting go didn't mean loving less—it meant loving better. When they collide again in a Manhattan bakery, neither is prepared for what happens next. She's the writer who turned their impossible love into fiction. He's the photographer who documented its absence. And between them lies the question they've both been afraid to answer: Is it possible to love someone the second time around—not with the desperation of youth, but with the wisdom of having survived without them? A sweeping, intimate exploration of love, choice, and the courage required to build something real from the ruins of what was lost. Perfect for readers who believe in second chances, unconventional reunions, and the transformative power of choosing each other—deliberately, consciously, and with eyes wide open.
