Release Blitz: The Legacy of Summer by Hope Irving

 

Title: The Legacy of Summer

Series: Summers in Seaside Collection (2025)

Author: Hope Irving

Genre: MM Romance

Tropes: Enemies-to-Lovers

Release Date: July 31, 2025

Two guys locked in a quiet war until the music—and whatever’s building between them—breaks through the silence. Is this their shot at something real?

EZRA

I’ve worked too damn hard to earn my place here as a program assistant, resident, and musician. The youth center gave me a roof, a reason to stay clean, and a shot at being more than what people see: tats, blue hair, and a temper.

Then he walks in like he owns the place.

Sasha doesn’t belong here. Smug grin. Preppy clothes. Ridiculous freckles. He plays at being the cool guy, but I see right through him—he’s hiding something. And I don’t trust pretty boys with perfect smiles. Especially not ones who make my skin itch in all the wrong ways.

SASHA

I came back to Seaside, Oregon, to clear my head, find some guidance, and play guitar, not clash with the world’s angriest violinist. Ezra acts like he’s got me figured out from day one, but he doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know how loud the silence is at home, how much I need this band to feel like I matter somewhere.

Still, every glance from him sets me on edge. Rehearsal is a battle. He’s infuriating, impossibly talented, and far too distracting.

The rock legend mentoring us says whatever’s between us—resentment, rivalry, whatever it is—needs to fuel our performance.

But what if the tension breaks us before the music ever begins?

Expect stubborn characters who would wear their hearts on their sleeves if they could, a group of misfits about to become a band, a welcoming youth center, plenty of pent-up tension, wise old rock legends, strong online friendships, a high-stakes stage performance, and some fun piercings.

Sasha did something to me today. Lit something I haven’t felt in a long time. If ever. Confusion. Longing. Want.

I wanna deck him. I wanna kiss him. I wanna say something mean enough he ghosts me for good.

But some messed-up part of me wants to see if he’d stay.

Pretty Sasha, hell you doin’ to me?

Release Blitz: The Men of Summer by Hope Irving

 

Title: The Men of Summer

Series: Summers in Seaside

Author: Hope Irving

Genre: MM Romance/Found Family

Release Date: July 31, 2024

Their greatest responsibility might be their most rewarding challenge.

After Dante came to terms with being bi five years ago, he fought for our second chance and we quickly settled into a routine… until life threw us a curve ball. A responsibility neither of us envisioned.

We struggle to find balance while Dante’s on the road with his band. It can get lonely sometimes, but mostly working from home as an ethical hacker, keeping my personal life under wraps, and raising a child who’s not actually ours keeps me busy. I capture the mundane moments Dante’s missing, one photo at a time. We may not be a picture-perfect family, but I can live with that… as long as nobody gets hurt in the process.

I’ll do anything to protect them. A found family. A beautiful family. My family.

The Men of Summer is a Found Family Romance, with a spin on Secret Baby, that is part of the Summers in Seaside Series. It's currently available for preorder and a Boys of Summer sequel: Both books follow the same couple, but each story stands alone. No cliffhanger!
