Ian Shawford, a small press owner, isn't looking for love along Barefoot Beach in Florida. He's a quiet man with irrepressible responsibilities to uphold. Publishing books is his craft, not finding the man of his dreams.

Ging Hu, owner of Hu and You Yoga and Ian's best friend, insists that Ian needs to get a life. Ging finds Ian a little dull lately, and decides to throw a Memorial Day beach party with his fun lover, Nick Batton.

At the party, Ian meets Brayden York, the hottest real estate mogul on Barefoot Beach, and sparks fly along the Gulf Coast. The two men hit it off quite well and decide to go for a private walk along the beach. Ian suffers from sunstroke and ends up in the hospital. To his surprise, Brayden is right at his side. Thereafter, Ian and Brayden become inseparable and share a summer of lust, fun, and everything naughty.

Just when summer is in full swing and Ian and Brayden have moved into a comfortable relationship, Ian's ex Christopher Sunday returns to Barefoot Beach. A sociopath with a daunting history, Christopher has a villainous plan to sever Ian's relationship with Brayden at any cost. Not only does Christopher want to bed Brayden instead, but he also wants to physically ruin him.

Can Ian save his new love from Christopher's psychotic wrath? Or will he and Brayden forever be separated by Christopher's fury?
