Where the Rain Hides us

After surviving years of abuse hidden behind expensive clothes, perfect posture, and practiced smiles, eighteen-year-old Juliette Barrot disappears from the public eye after a brutal attempted murder shocks the entire country.

Everyone knows her name.

The newspapers call her the girl from the cliff.

The girl whose husband pushed her thirty meters into shallow water.

The girl covered in bruises no one noticed.

The girl who survived.

But nobody knows who Juliette truly is beneath the headlines.

Haunted by trauma, struggling with touch and the constant fear of being seen, Juliette moves with her grandparents and her closest friend Angela to the quiet town of Forks, Washington - a place hidden beneath endless rain and towering forests, where nobody is supposed to know her past.

Forks is meant to be a fresh start.

A quiet place to heal.

A place where she can finally breathe again.

Instead, she meets Carlisle Cullen.

Calm. Gentle. Mysterious.

A man far older than her, carrying centuries of secrets behind golden eyes and soft-spoken kindness.

And for the first time in years, Juliette meets someone who touches her life without hurting it.

But healing is never simple.

Not when nightmares still wake her in the middle of the night.

Not when memories refuse to let her go.

And especially not when falling in love with Carlisle Cullen means stepping into a world far more dangerous than the one she escaped.

A haunting, emotional romance about survival, trauma, healing, and learning that love was never supposed to hurt.
