If Not for Rain
by Leo Napiers
Jack didn't come to Silver Pines to fall in love-he came to forget. Haunted by loss and content to live in quiet routine, he's perfectly fine being the town's mystery man with a guarded heart.
Alice is rebuilding. A flower shop, a new chapter, and a past she'd rather leave in the rearview mirror. She's not looking for trouble-or a man with a shadow in his eyes.
But when a stray dog named Chance brings their paths together, everything begins to change.
Set in a small town where the sidewalks still glisten after rain and healing takes the shape of shared coffee, stolen glances, and the silence between two people who understand pain, If Not for Rain is a slow-burn, heartwarming romance about second chances, trust, and the unexpected ways love returns.
For readers who believe in quiet miracles, rainy days, and the kind of connection that doesn't need fixing-just feeling.
