Something Like Summer

I remember sneaking over to his house in the middle of the night. And the secret love we used to share. That was back in high school. I never expected to see him again...

Coming out isn't easy, especially for a gay teenager living in Texas during the nineties. Ben thought it was his best chance of finding love. Instead he ended up lonelier than before. After a not-so-accidental collision with Tim, an attractive athlete and artist, Ben is convinced that he's met his soulmate. Their budding romance is soon tested by spreading rumors, the danger increasing along with their passion for each other. If only they'd seen the end coming.

Years later, Ben is attending college in a different state while dating a truly wonderful guy. Everything is perfect until the day Tim shows up unexpectedly. Overwhelmed by old feelings, Ben is forced to reconcile the summer-filled dreams of his past with the complexities of his new adult life... but some love stories are harder to give up on than others.

This book is intended for mature audiences. For younger readers, the recommended age is 16 or older.
