Juliette had fled the Parisian streets and come to London for many different reasons.
To better her English, to see more of the world, to walk through history - and, most of all, to live within the atmosphere of her favourite book, Emma.
But on her journey through the damp streets of London, she crosses paths with someone who will change her life forever.
Arthur Wetherington - reserved, gentle, and impeccably British - offers her his umbrella on a rainy night, and soon becomes the reason her heart races with every letter she receives.
As the city's gray skies give way to quiet moments of warmth, Juliette discovers that sometimes the most unexpected meetings can feel like destiny - and that love can bloom even under the heaviest London rain.
Because sometimes...
all it takes is just one meeting, to change
everything

Rain Check on My Heart
Sienna had long since stopped believing in love. Once upon a time, she'd given her heart away, only to watch it shatter into a million irreparable pieces. Now, love was nothing but a cruel illusion-something reserved for fairytales and fools. She wasn't either. But then came Jovan Westbrook. He was trouble wrapped in perfection. A walking contradiction. The kind of man who made promises with his eyes but never with his lips. He made her heart race, her skin burn, but he never let her in. Jovan was a storm she was willing to chase, even if it meant getting caught in the wreckage. And she almost had him-almost. But Jovan didn't do love. He was the man who kept his distance, who kissed her like she was his world but never called her his. Sienna wasn't blind; she knew she was nothing more than a beautiful complication to him. A fleeting pleasure. A side piece to his untouchable heart. Still, she stayed. Hoping. Wanting. Loving him when he refused to love her back. Until one day... she disappeared. No notes. No calls. No trace of where she went. Just a gaping emptiness where she used to be. And that's when Jovan felt it-the unbearable ache of missing someone you never let yourself love. Now, he's the one searching. The one chasing. The one who realizes too late that love isn't about convenience-it's about risk, about choosing someone even when it scares the hell out of you. But is he too late? Because some rain checks never get cashed in... and some hearts don't wait forever.Complete
