   Summary

   The Millers’ beach house was supposed to be a fun getaway : a week of sun, drinks, and celebration for Joel’s 40th birthday. But after that night with Joel, everything’s suddenly… awkward. Joel is cold and distant, because Joel knows better. He won’t cross that line—not with his best friend’s daughter, not when you’re half his age. He’s made his share of mistakes, but this won’t be one of them.
   But Tommy? Tommy’s never been one for restraint, all too willing to take what Joel won’t.
