Thirty-seven-year-old Nate Albano's second relationship ever ended three years ago, and since he's grace - gray asexual - he doesn't anticipate beating the odds to find a third. Still, he's got his dog, his hobbies, and his job as a special effects technician on Wolf's Landing, so he can't complain - much.Seth Larson, umpteenth generation Bluewater Bay, is the quintessential good-time guy, content with tending bar and being his grandmother's handyman. The night they meet, Seth's looking for some recreational sex to escape family drama. But for Nate, romantic attraction comes before sexual attraction, so while Seth thinks they're hooking up, Nate just wants to talk . . . genealogy?Dude. Seriously?So they declare a "just friends" truce. Then Seth asks for Nate's help investigating a sinister Larson family secret, and their feelings start edging way beyond platonic. But Nate may want more than Seth can give him, and Seth may not be able to leave his good-time image behind. Unless they can find a way to merge carefree with commitment, they could miss out on true love - the best time of all.
