Iris begins to realize that running away from the rain only drives her deeper into the storm. Will she be able to accept the changes around her and chase her dreams with the man she loves or will they allow outsiders to steal their happy ever after?

Clay was so close to having it all, the woman he loves and the job he’s always dreamed of but an unexpected accident causes a domino effect that cripples his plans. A chance encounter with someone new makes him question everything he thought he wanted and everything he lost.

Iris Everly is trying to figure out her place in the world. A world that has caused her heartache, loneliness, and uncertainty of her future. When her sisters and the Keller boys return from college she is forced to face some of the pain from her past but it also allows her to open her heart to new possibilities and maybe even love.

Did you ever have a childhood friend?

Your only friend…

One that drove you crazy but you craved more?

Clay Keller isn’t a little boy anymore

And I’m certainly not a little girl.

I need him, and I think he needs me, too!

Iris and Clay grew up as childhood friends in the small town of Leavenworth. When Mr. Keller became Mayor and moved his family to the other side of town, Iris and Clay grew up and grew apart. When Iris’s sisters and the Keller boys return from college Clay and Iris reconnect but life always has a way of tearing them apart.

Meet Iris & Clay

Iris is a small town girl with a passion for writing and her biggest goal is to live under the radar with no attention on herself. With an outer beauty that is natural and basic, as some would say, she doesn’t dress to impress. Iris’s life has been lived inside her books, reading classic novels and writing her own life story. Iris has suffered great loss in her life which has left her with no plans for the future except being there for her Dad.

Clay Keller is a small town heart throb who had a long term relationship with ex-cheerleader, Lexi McAdams. When Clay left for college and his girlfriend cheated on him he reevaluates his trust in women and what he is really looking for in a relationship. It turns out that everything he has ever wanted in a girl is everything that he had, he just didn’t know it.

Until now…

Iris and Clay reconnect when he comes home from college for the summer and it isn’t long until she’s swept away into a world of just the two of them. Not everyone is a fan of their newfound romance and some make it clear. Iris begins to come out of her bubble and begins to dream of a future outside of her hometown but before she decides where the wind will take her she must think about all that she leaves behind.
