Rain and Whiskey

2005

Galen Frost is used to taking what he wants, and after years as a semi-pro football player, he wants to get away from it all, making himself a home in a small Florida town. Shane is a beach bum, good time bartender, living it up every night, never really looking at the same guy twice. Galen runs a bait shop, Shane works private parties, and the only thing they have in common is that they both like hot sex and a good time. When they meet at the bar one night, sparks fly, and the heat amazes them both, like the burn of good whiskey. They come together like rain on the ocean, whipping up a frenzy of weather, good and bad. Nothing is easy with these guys though, and they have to ride out the storm that breaks between them when Galen's old life rears its ugly head. Can Galen and Shane find shelter from the rain?
