The summer before you

He wasn't ever meant to fall in love with a man that was never chosen.
When Chris loses his boyfriend overnight in a tragic accident, his world shatters overnight. In the months that follow, surviving has to become enough. Days blur into memories and unanswered questions while everyone else slowly moves on.
Everyone except Jonah. Their oldest mutual friend, and man he almost fell for years ago, refuses to let Chris face his grief alone. Through sleepless nights, awkward silences, forgotten meals, and unbearable firsts, Jonah becomes the steady presence Chris never knew he would need. He never asks Chris to move on-only to keep going, knowing whatever had existed between them was buried long before the funeral... or so they both believed.
But somewhere between shared grief and quiet comforting, something begins to change.
Chris is horrified by the warmth he feels whenever Jonah smiles, guilty that his heart can still make room for someone else, and terrified that loving again would somehow mean loving his late boyfriend less. Yet Jonah has been carrying feelings his put to rest for years, certain that now is the worst possible time to admit them.
As the seasons pass, both men must confront an impossible question: can a heart broken by loss ever truly love again, or does healing simply make room for a different kind of forever?
A achingly tender slow-burn romance about grief, guilt, friendship, and finding hope after unimaginable loss. The Summer Before You is a is a story about surviving the unimaginable, discovering that grief and love can exist side by side, and learning that a second chance at happiness doesn't erase the first great love-it honours the person who taught you how to love in the first place.
