Rain

By Ernestine Coleman-Dupree

Richard Forrest is just going through the motions. Childhood baggage keeps him in line but away from some of the things he truly wants. His friendship with Adrian -- or Rain, as Richard calls him -- put him in constant conflict with the path in life he thought he should be on. After nearly two years of separation, Richard bumps into Rain, and their incidental meeting results in old emotions flaring to life for both of them despite everything in the way.

Rain’s free-spirited nature led him down a road of bad decisions that included drug use. This was ultimately the thing that separated the two of them in the past. Now a recovering addict, Rain is trying his best to put his life back together. When Richard finds out Rain is drug free, he welcomes him back into his life and embraces who he truly is in the process. Their friendship moves to romance until all too familiar behaviors start to resurface.

Can Richard and Rain work their way through this latest set of trials and tribulations? Will suspicion and fear tear apart what their love has stitched back together?
