Enter Tate Bartlett — sailing instructor, golden boy, and self-proclaimed lover of a good time. He knows Cassie is different the moment they meet. She’s gorgeous, hilarious, and the coolest person he’s ever known. So he does the responsible thing and friend-zones her… only to realize almost immediately that was a massive mistake.
