**Book Title**: *Summer Rain* **Summary**: In the heart of Tokyo, a young Omega named Haruto is trying to navigate life as a single father to his four-year-old son, Yuki. The sudden death of his Alpha boyfriend in a car accident has left Haruto shattered, his once-bright future clouded by grief and trauma. Now in his early twenties, Haruto juggles his responsibilities as a college student, a part-time worker, and a sex worker—a job he took on to make ends meet and provide for his son. His life is one of quiet desperation, haunted by painful flashbacks, PTSD, and a suffocating sense of loneliness. The once warm, stable life he envisioned for his family is gone, replaced by rain-soaked nights and alcohol to drown his sorrows. As Haruto tries his best to care for Yuki, he struggles with self-harm, depression, and the weight of unresolved trauma. His nights are plagued by memories of the accident, the feel of his Alpha’s hand slipping from his grasp, and the unbearable guilt of being left behind. Alcohol has become a dangerous comfort, a way to quiet the storm inside him. Each day is a battle between holding on for Yuki and succumbing to the emptiness that has taken root in his heart. The story takes a deep dive into Haruto’s psyche, painting a raw and emotional picture of grief, survival, and the struggle to find hope when all seems lost. There are explicit scenes reflecting Haruto’s work, which serve as a window into the complexities of his life as an Omega in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving. Through his journey, we explore themes of loss, healing, and the difficult path to rebuilding one’s life after trauma. But despite everything, there are moments of tenderness, especially when Haruto talks to Yuki, trying to shield him from the darkness of the world. *"Papa loves you more than the stars love the night sky,"* Haruto whispers to his son one evening, holding him close as the sound of rain taps softly against the window. *"And no matter how hard things get, I'll always be here for you."* The novel is filled with angst, trauma flashbacks, and sensitive topics like sexual assault, self-harm, and alcoholism. There’s no love interest yet, as the story focuses on Haruto’s internal struggles and his journey toward self-recovery. Can he find the strength to rebuild himself, for both his son and his future? **Trigger Warnings**: This book contains depictions of PTSD, sexual assault, self-harm, depression, alcoholism, and sex work. Reader discretion is advised.
