On The Windward Side

After three years of waiting, hoping, and crying in silence, Rain finally accepted that Jake, the love of her life, would never look at her the same way he looks at other women.

To distract herself, she decided to work part-time at a cafe where she met the confident, frank, and unexpectedly meddlesome boss - Skylar. He scorned at her choices. He questioned her lies. He shed light to the pain she was trying to bury.

And Rain was annoyed with him... until she realized he was just trying to drag her out of that dark cell she put herself in. With Skylar, she began to rediscover pieces of her younger, happier self she thought were long destroyed. He made her want to receive more than the bare minimum she had been begging for.

And Jake noticed her drifting away. The guy who used to give her quick glances suddenly began to stare too much. He watched her every move. He showed up unannounced. He got jealous at other guys. He asked questions he never worried about before. He gave her the affection she had waited for all this time - right when she was already learning to walk away.

Now, Rain is swept between two tides: the hauntingly familiar past, and the daring, relentless future; neither refusing to back down.

Begged-for love or fought-for love-which will win her heart?
