When rejection is all you've known, love can be hard to accept.
Alex Davis knows there is no happy ever after for him and he's okay with that. He has his work, he has his brother, and he has the occasional hook up - and he never has to tell anyone about his past.
When he meets Ben at a rock concert and agrees to go on a date with him, Alex assumes it will be just another casual hook up.
He doesn't count on Ben's confidence or determination. He doesn't count on Ben falling in love with him - even when Alex tells him his secret.
Most of all he doesn't count on falling in love with Ben .
The Beach House is Book One in an ongoing series, featuring the same couple, with themes of hurt/comfort, rejection, and self acceptance.
