Here Comes Summer

Kain debuts with a frothy second-chance romance pairing wealthy Brady Gibson with financially struggling Hayes Carter. The guys fell in love in college but broke up nine months before the start of the book. Now, Brady asks Hayes to accompany him on a whirlwind vacation as a brand ambassador for For Us, a luxury resort chain catering to gay couples. Hayes, needing money for medical school, reluctantly agrees on the stipulation that it’s a “business arrangement and nothing else.” Only upon arriving does he learn that they’ll need to pose as a couple for social media. After Hayes overhears a harsh truth about how Brady landed the gig, he decides to keep it a secret from Brady and finally leans into the assignment—in part because he “can’t stop thinking of Brady in ways that we have both vowed not to.” As they travel through Europe—dancing a sexy bolero in Spain and skinny-dipping in Germany’s Krumme Lanke—Hayes also encourages Brady to bypass law school and familial expectations to follow his dream of teaching kindergarten. Their enticingly described travels help the men rebuild their relationship and get out of their own way. It’s a sweet and slightly spicy escape. (June)
