    'A story that keeps you hoping and guessing until the very end.' Sally Jenkins, author of Out of Control

    Vidya isn’t in Waterloo Bay for a holiday. Officially, she’s visiting the beautiful, quirky seaside town for work – but unofficially, she’s on a mission. One of her colleagues hooked up with her sister at a party, and now her sister is pregnant. As the sensible one in the family, it’s Vidya's job to find out who he is.

    But there’s a catch: all she has to go on is a vague description of a chest tattoo. Vidya has just two weeks to glimpse her colleagues shirtless without getting fired, but crazy hotel guests, malicious seagulls and her pesky day job keep getting in the way.

    And then there’s Leo, the most frustrating, patronising, handsome man she’s ever met…

    Perfect for fans of:

    💗 Forced proximity

    💗 Office romance

    💗 Small town
