Book Summaries

Full version (249 words)

Just Before Sunrise, as the fog lifts from the pool, the light reveals the tapered backs of male swimmers in Speedos concluding their morning workout.  

Nicky O’Hare, a promising freshman recruited to the Tampa Bay University swim team, shows promise both in and out of the pool.  The lean Irish kid with the ‘boy-next-door’ good looks from Brandy, South Dakota, is likely the most talented swimmer on the team.  Ready to experience all that college life has to offer, Nicky has even put finding a boyfriend on his wish list.

Coach Philip Silva, a former Olympic swimmer with a once-impressive swimming career, has recruited Nicky as part of his mission to rebuild the University’s failing swim program.  Focused on the upcoming season, Philip’s real challenge will be keeping his secrets and demons submerged below the surface.

All seems well until one night when Nicky and Philip end up at the same Fourth of July celebration. With fireworks in the sky, the hot and humid night reveals the attraction between the two. But can these boundaries be crossed?  Suddenly forced to reevaluate his life, Philip is met with the moral dilemma of discovering true love with the University’s rising star.  

Before Sunrise presents a story of friendships, love, complicated relationships, and deception, woven into an unexpected ending.  

Bryan T. Clark, author of Ancient House of Cards, has again masterfully crafted a romance where the fine line between right and wrong must be resolved for love to survive.
