Some hearts are born to break. Others fight to keep beating.
Seventeen-year-old Rain has one purpose: protect her little sister, Gia, from the man who made their house a prison. Every day is a game of survival, a test of silence, strength, and sacrifice. She doesn't have time for friendship. She definitely doesn't have time for love.
But when new neighbors move in across the street, everything begins to shift. He's quiet, observant, with kind eyes that see too much. Rain tries to keep her distance, but the boy next door becomes impossible to ignore-especially when he offers something she hasn't felt in a long time: safety.
As their connection grows in stolen glances and hushed conversations, Rain starts to believe in something fragile and terrifying-hope. But with her world threatening to fall apart at any moment, Rain has to decide if love is worth the risk... and if her heart is still worth saving.
An emotional, slow-burn story about found family, healing, and the quiet power of love.
