Adam isn't out as gay. He goes about his day as a bartender in a local pub, looking but not touching. He has a rule—no dating. He's terrified into singleness.
Mark, a regular at the pub, has a habit of making Adam's mouth water. Mark always sits at the bar, giving them plenty of time to talk over the months Mark has been coming in.
Adam doesn't give the possibility of acting on his attraction any weight. He's sure Mark is straight. Plus, he would end up breaking his rule if he considered any kind of dating.
A chance meeting outside of work promises a change in their relationship. A walk along the seawall turns into so much more. In the span of twenty-four hours, their customer—bartender rapport is broken, replaced by a simmering need for one another.
Where will it lead, this change?
