A Summer by the Lake – Part One is an intimate gay romance story written and narrated by Dani Hyden, opening Volume 2 of the Whispers in the Dark series — sensual, emotionally rich storytelling for quiet hearts and late-night listening.
“You enjoying the view?”
Eli’s voice breaks the silence, low and smooth. Ryan turns, the lake glowing behind him — and for the first time in years, he forgets what loneliness feels like.
Set over one charged summer week, this story follows three men drawn together by heat, confession, and unexpected connection. What begins as friendship slowly deepens into desire, vulnerability, and the possibility of something more — something neither of them planned for, but none of them can ignore.
A Summer by the Lake explores freedom, longing, and the fragile moment when companionship shifts into intimacy. Sensual, reflective, and quietly intense, this is a gay romance story designed to be listened to slowly, in the dark, when emotions surface and defenses fall.
