After the Rain
Wade Harrison thought he had his life figured out—until one kiss changed everything.
Recently divorced and struggling with single fatherhood, Wade is just trying to keep his head above water. Then his six-year-old son Cooper brings home glowing stories about his new teacher, Mr. Mitchell, and Wade finds himself drawn into conversations that feel like more than just parent-teacher conferences.
Ezra Mitchell came to Cedar Falls for a fresh start after his teaching career was nearly destroyed by prejudice and false accusations. He’s built careful walls around his heart, but Cooper’s enthusiasm and his father’s quiet strength begin to crack his defenses.
When friendship blooms into something deeper, both men must confront truths they’ve been hiding from themselves. But in a small town where everyone knows your business, their growing relationship attracts the wrong kind of attention. Soon Wade faces an impossible choice: fight for the love that’s finally made him feel whole, or protect his son from a custody battle that could tear their family apart.
Some storms test everything you think you know about yourself. Others wash away the lies and leave only truth behind.
After the Rain is a powerful story about finding the courage to live authentically, the families we choose, and the love worth fighting for—no matter the cost.
Written in honor of Pride month—celebrating not just the celebration, but the journey.
