acosta divorce midnight romance

Eustacia Calli has dreamed of becoming a veterinarian since she was young. She longed to create a path of her own, willingly to make herself happier and carefree-but because of the messed-up life she lived, her dreams disappeared as silence grew in her and locked her in agony. She was like a midnight rain; she can never be happy and satisfied as she always resorts to something chaotic, seeking out patterns of pain. But when Chantler Finn, a sunshine man who was raised to fight and settle, found her, the time stood still.

After all, maybe they just wanted to open the doors and never build the strongest and highest walls again after the storm. Will they make it together? Or will they just keep on chasing the pain that was never really theirs to have?

Francesca Life was nothing if not unpredictable, and Francesca Mancini had learned that lesson the hard way. Still, even after the accident that claimed both her parents' lives, she still had a lot to be thankful for. As only the young naively did, her life's plan had been solid. She had planned on graduating from college, then marrying the man of her dreams, but what's that about best-laid plans? When your past, present, and future come full circle...

However, it no longer matters what she wants, and Phoenix will stop at nothing to make sure that she stays put this time. Six years after leaving her family behind, when a heartbreaking tragedy forces Francesca to return home, she does so while believing that it's only temporary. However, unbeknownst to her, other plans have been made, and Francesca isn't going anywhere. Face-to-face after six years, old hurts and new desires come crashing together in a fight to the finish.
