Sunshine After Rain

Lena Hart returns to Willow Creek, the small town she once called home, seeking comfort and a fresh start after years away. But coming back isn't just about familiar streets and old friends—it's about Evan Hart, her childhood best friend and the boy who swore he'd always take care of her. As Lena settles in, the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur. A stormy night, a childhood time capsule, and a beautifully carved wooden sun reveal the depth of feelings they've both kept hidden for years. But just as their hearts inch closer, small-town gossip, misunderstandings, and Evan's fear of losing their friendship threaten to pull them apart. From rainy day repairs to candlelit confessions, first dates, and a festival under the summer sun, Lena and Evan navigate the messy, beautiful shift from best friends to lovers. Through laughter, longing, and heartfelt confessions, they discover that love sometimes waits patiently—and that after every storm, there is always sunshine. Sunshine After Rain is a tender, heartfelt romance about second chances, small-town charm, and finding love where it was always meant to be.
