Storm Season: A Novella

A storm brought her here. Love gave her a reason to stay.When Clara arrives in a hurricane-ravaged town to coordinate volunteers, she expects chaos—but not Eli, the quiet carpenter with guarded eyes and a past as fractured as the homes they're rebuilding. As they work side by side—under sun, sweat, and sudden rain—Clara begins to see that healing a community means opening herself up, too. But when sparks fly, Eli pulls back, and Clara must decide if she’s brave enough to stay—not just for the town, but for herself. Set against the backdrop of storms, resilience, and the messy beauty of rebuilding, Storm Season is a heartfelt novella about choosing love, community, and the kind of strength that doesn’t always look strong.
