When Hearts Collide in the Rain
Imagine standing in pouring rain when your past walks toward you after years of silence. This is exactly how River feels when she encounters Tate Coleson again - the boy who was once her everything, now a stranger with familiar eyes. Their chance meeting begins when she punches his truck in frustration after finding it blocking her bike, slicing open her hand. The voice that responds is deep, husky, and horrifyingly familiar. Tate stands before her, twice the size he used to be - no longer just her former best friend but her worst enemy, the boy who betrayed her trust in the most unforgivable way. What neither realizes is that this encounter is just the beginning. When River's mother announces she wants River to meet her boyfriend of three months, River is unprepared for the bombshell waiting - her mom's "hot lumberjack boyfriend" is Tate's father. "I hope you don't mind having a step-brother!" Mitchell announces cheerfully, oblivious to the complicated history between the teenagers. This unexpected family connection forces them into each other's orbits again, setting the stage for old wounds to reopen after years of festering silence.
