Steady Stroke

After a tragic car accident, Lincoln West's dreams of musical stardom fell apart. Unable to play his beloved guitar and battling a hopeless downward spiral, he takes his friend's offer to stay at their beach house for the summer. While at an open mic night at local bar Off Beat, Lincoln locks eyes with a busboy who revives a part of him that he thought was irreparably broken.

Emmett Westmore lives for the anonymity of busing tables in his aunt's quirky bar, a place where no one knows him, or that he blames himself for the fire that killed his family. He doesn't want anyone to see him - not until he meets Lincoln West. Emmett's walls drop when he's around the gorgeous, damaged guitarist, and Emmett gives in to feelings he's long denied. But he's also hiding a painful secret that could destroy their budding relationship.

Both Lincoln and Emmett are looking for ways to live again. Will they let their fears control them or take a chance on something real?
