(Sequel to Above Water) A summer fling turned into the worst possible case of ghosting Thomas had ever seen. When he first met Dallas two years prior, Thomas never imagined letting him far enough into his heart to get hurt. It was just one summer, after all. They met, had fun, then called it quits, promising to keep in touch in the event that they may reunite again one day. Thomas just didn't expect the ache of grieving a relationship that never existed when Dallas, without explanation, cut contact. Two years later, the holidays brought the pair back together . . . with some unfortunate circumstances. It turns into a matter of following love or reason this time. And maybe, just maybe, two lost souls will bind together once more.

Thomas needed a vacation, but that didn't mean he wanted one. His best friend convinced him to come down to his family's beach house for the summer to unwind, to relax for once. Thomas wasn't swayed easily, but he found himself on a flight to Florida regardless, albeit begrudgingly. Thomas intended to mope around for the three months, drink away his problems, and maybe get a tan in the process. However, his plans were thwarted when an unwanted houseguest from his past arrived the day after his getting there, leaving a bitter tang on the entire "vacation." Not to mention, Thomas was forced to share what he thought was his room with his best friend's wife's ridiculously handsome brother, Dallas. Thomas was on the cusp of drowning in the first week. Relaxation wasn't even on the agenda. He just had to try to keep his head above water.
