Wes Duggan is a tall, gorgeous hunk of male who comes from Australia. Two things keep him anchored on the east coast of Florida. The bar he owns and Ellee Chase, the beautiful brunette he fell in love with four years ago. But Ellee is too afraid to ruin the delicate balance of their friendship. She needs him too desperately to lose him to some silly notion of romantic love. For the past four years, Wes has been her closest friend, her confidante, the only person in her life who keeps her from being totally alone. But Wes isn’t willing to wait any longer. Four years is a long time. Frustrated, he takes a chance and makes the move that may well push her away from him forever.
