In Le Port, nothing stays buried. At least, not for long.

In the haunting first installment of the St. Madeleine Series, As The Rain Falls unravels the heartbreaking journey leading to Beckett Evans’ infamous arrest, told through his eyes and those of Cassandra Rivera, the youngest sister of the man he nearly killed.

But long before the trial, Cassandra’s life was already a battlefield. Raised in a home ruled by violence and fear, she’s endured the unthinkable after being raped by her own brother. Silenced by her family, she’s spent years teaching herself how to survive through this betrayal, burying her pain beneath a carefully crafted facade.

For Cassandra, pain is familiar. Safety is not. Until Beckett.

The boy next door becomes her light in the dark, the only person who sees through her bad reputation and the shattered pieces she tries to hide from the world. With him, she feels safe. With him, she starts to believe in the possibility of something more.

Before the trial, there was the truth.

As friendship and forbidden love collide, Cassandra and Beckett are forced to navigate the wreckage of their families, dark secrets coming to light with the promise of keeping them apart. From stolen moments to the night everything spirals out of control, Cassandra faces an impossible choice. But how much of herself is she willing to sacrifice? And what if telling the truth isn’t enough?
