Enemies-to-lovers. Forced proximity. A house with opinions, a storm with a schedule-and two people who must choose repair over ruin.
Anaya Rao restores old houses and believes in plans that hold under weather. Adrian D'Costa inherits a resort empire and a mess-one clever side letter away from disaster. When a landslide threatens Casa Brava, they're forced to share a roof, a ledger, and a timetable the monsoon doesn't respect.
Their friction sparks into a slow, grown-up heat-built from competence, consent, and the kind of laughter that survives bad nights. But a buried addendum and a public hearing pull them apart just as they begin to choose each other. To save the house and the community around it, they must trade optics for oaths and turn apologies into action.
The Monsoon Between Us is a contemporary romance of craft and consequence: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, dual POV, a third-act rupture that makes emotional sense, and a luminous payoff. First in the Rainlight Houses series-standalones linked by places that listen.
