Rainah Solenne Salazar is the SK Chairperson of Barangay Durungao - the heart of their humble town. She's kind, dependable, and the sunshine everyone turns to. Soft-spoken but fierce when needed. Always serving, always smiling, and always putting others before herself. She's used to leading through chaos, holding things together with grace - the girl no one expects to break. Then he arrives. Zephren Alaric Zobel - a rich, arrogant playboy from Manila, sent to Durungao as punishment by his powerful family. A last-ditch attempt to "fix his attitude," hoping that the slow life of the province might do what no lecture or consequence ever could. He walks like the world owes him something. Talks like rules don't apply. And stares like the whole barangay is beneath him. They clash from the moment their eyes meet - Her patience versus his pride. Her purpose versus his recklessness. But when thunder rolls and secrets begin to pour, the line between hate and something else starts to blur. Can Rainah stay whole when the storm she's fighting starts to feel like home? And when the rain finally falls... will it cleanse-or will it burn? The cover photo used for this book is credited to its rightful owner. All visual materials belong to their respective creators.
