About this audiobook

In a small, conservative town, Ethan Blake hides a secret that threatens to consume him. As a high school senior, he is trapped between the expectations of his family, the fear of judgment from his peers, and his own desire to live authentically. When Liam Sullivan, a confident and mysterious new student, moves to town, Ethan finds himself drawn to him in ways that both thrill and terrify him. Together, they navigate the turbulent waters of their feelings, struggling to stay afloat amidst the fear of being outed and the very real threats they face.

Their journey takes them from quiet moments of vulnerability to dangerous confrontations, each step building towards a love that grows stronger against all odds. With the unwavering support of friends, they learn to stand up for themselves, their relationship, and what they truly believe in. As the storm clouds of societal pressure and prejudice gather, Ethan and Liam find solace in each other's arms, realizing that their love is worth every risk.

Against the Storm is an emotional coming-of-age story about love, resilience, and courage. It's a testament to the power of choosing love in the face of fear and building a future that shines brighter than the shadows of the past. This is a story of two young men who refuse to be silenced, who stand hand in hand, ready to face whatever comes their way—together, against the storm.
