Midnight Rain

In this alternate version of the world of Those Who Wait, Charlotte Thompson and Sutton Spencer’s story took a different turn. A decade after their affair, Charlotte is a senator whose professional success has left little room for personal connection. Sutton has built a life as a literature professor and mother, carrying a history that includes divorce and the woman she once loved. When their paths cross again, the attraction between them brings old decisions into sharp focus. Their reunion asks what might happen if timing, ambition, and fear had kept them apart for years. Familiar characters meet under changed circumstances, facing a second chance neither can approach as the person she used to be.
