River believed in love—until it broke him.
Hana was the girl who changed everything. From the moment he first saw her in the rain, she became his world. But loving her was never simple. She carried a past she couldn’t let go of, a love she lost, and a heart that was never fully his.
When Hana walks away, River is left shattered—clinging to memories, questions, and a love that refuses to fade. Just when he thinks he understands why she left, the truth arrives in a letter… and it changes everything.
As River struggles to heal, he begins to realize that love is not always about holding on—sometimes, it’s about letting go.
But fate has a way of rewriting endings.
Years later, when River least expects it, love finds him again—in a form both familiar and entirely new. And this time, he must decide: will he risk his heart once more, or remain a prisoner of the past?
