A young man has a forbidden affair with his loyal best friend. Will their love cost him his life?

Shannon Sullivan has fallen in love with his best friend in 1920 Ireland. But he’s already learned a tough lesson with same sex love. After a disastrous affair with a teacher, he was abused by the town priest and shunned by the townspeople. Acting on his love for Ciaran might end his life.

Ciaran O’Kelly only sees the good in others, including his best friend. He doesn’t understand why everyone treats Shannon so poorly and why Shannon lashes out or hides himself. After Ciaran’s mother suddenly dies, he needs Shannon to bring him comfort.

After the death of Ciaran’s mother, the boys are sent on a journey to Dublin to bring an heirloom to Ciaran’s aunt. With the Irish war of independence in full swing, train travel is disrupted and the two must travel by horse and cart. On the journey, a drunken night sharing a room at an inn starts another journey—one of discovery, awakening and peril. Can Ciaran and Shannon escape clashes with the British army while keeping their newfound love a secret?

A Summer Without Rain is a standalone MM romance novel and features a bisexual awakening with sweet and steamy first times, friends to lovers and hurt/comfort. It guarantees an HEA and has no cliffhangers. It features a man who knows the cost of same sex love, and another innocent enough to want to take the chance.

This is a re-release of a previously published title of the same name. This new edition has been extensively revised into a dual point of view story (and more).

Trigger Warning: Because of the time and place in which this book takes place, there is quite a bit of prejudice.
