Midnight Rain

A Those Who Wait Story

By: Haley Cass

Narrated by: Lori Prince

What if . . .

What if Charlotte didn't decide to come out in Those Who Wait? What if she and Sutton didn't get back together? How would that one decision alter the course of their lives, forever?

Charlotte Thompson appears to have it all—by forty, her political plans are panning out exactly as she'd always hoped. Now a senator, she quietly came out a couple of years ago, and she's on-track to fulfilling everything she'd ever dreamed of. Perhaps she is a little lonely sometimes, but as the saying goes: it's lonely at the top.

Sutton Spencer has finally found her footing after her divorce. She's a tenured literature professor, she loves her daughter more than anything, and she's accepted the harsh truth of the world: maybe she simply isn't meant to find lasting romantic love.

They've both put their ill-fated affair from over a decade ago behind them, until a surprise reunion results in their paths intertwining once more.

Maybe some things are meant to be in every universe . . .

Haley Cass At it again!

amazing ! read it while on Patreon but was waiting for the amazing Lori Prince's narration! gawd I loved it so much and makes me love love even more!!

love

I love this version of this story. This version is more realistic.I love who Sutten became in this version. This version of motherhood looks great on her.

Exceeded all expectations

I was initially hesitant because I love Charlotte and Sutton so deeply and didn’t want to entertain a world where Charlotte didn’t go after Sutton. I just couldn’t see myself liking it. Turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I love it! It’s impossible not to adore the dynamic Lucy brings to the story! The maturity of each character adds such richness to this universe. Honestly, feels crazy to say, but I like this ending better! HC did an incredible job and Lori Prince is perfection, per usual. Well done ladies!

Heart wrenching

What’s a beautiful novel in second chance. So beautifully written and I couldn’t put the audio or book down. Tears flowed, heart opened, perfect example how imperfect love really is

WOW

Okay I did not think I would enjoy this as much as the “real” story ending but this blew me away and I liked this as an ending more than how TWW ended! Charlotte was down badddd and I loved it. The angst in this was so good! Charlotte and Sutton forever!
