Beyond the Cove

Leaving his enormous family behind, native New Yorker, Elijah, decides to move to Brighton Pier for a fresh start. Just when he thinks his new life is going perfectly, he finds out his burgeoning relationship is nothing more than a friends-with-benefits arrangement to the man he was swiftly falling for.

Forty-year-old Zachariah Taylor owns a successful bar, Zach's Bar and Grill, in the quiet town of Riverside Falls and loves the life he's built for himself. But as his siblings move on and find their forever partners in life, he's starting to feel less and less needed - not to mention old. Suddenly, he's finding it even harder to ignore the younger man who has pursued him for years, but the 12 years separating them is something Zach can't seem to overlook. 

If there's anyone who knows how to have a good time—be it with a man or a woman—it's Ryder Pearce. Master of the nail-it-and-bail-it theory, he lives his life for one person and one person only: himself. When a man enters Ryder's life who challenges him on every flirtation, every sexual innuendo he can come up with, Ryder's thrown off his game in a big way. Because there's one thing the man has made perfectly clear—they've played this game before, and Ryder doesn't remember the outcome. 

Sawyer Levy came to Riverside Falls four years ago to escape from life, but when he finds himself in need of care, he's forced to trust two men for the first time in years. Grant Belford is riddled with shame in the tragic aftermath of incidents he didn't see coming, blaming himself for the terror that rocked his town. Captain Mason Lockley is struggling with the events that shook up the town, tormented by one thought: Did he miss the signs because of jealousy? Having no choice but to lean on each other, the three men aren't expecting to have such a connection—or to fall so hard.

Parker Wilson has the life he's always wanted: an apartment in Brighton Pier, amazing family and friends, and a job he loves. With the invitation to his childhood best friend's engagement party, the safe haven he's created around himself is soon flooded with memories of the past. The roadblock he's taken years detouring soon becomes a reality he can no longer avoid. After six years, Parker will have to see Sarah's brother again—the only man he's ever truly loved.
