Grinding (Otter Bay #2)

Two childhood best friends. One accidental fake engagement. One Labrador puppy. One week to fall in love.

When Harvey runs into his childhood best friend—literally—on the way into Otter Bay for his cousin's wedding, he doesn't plan to end up playing the part of the guy's fiancé. But one trip to the hospital and one tiny white lie later, and the whole town knows he's engaged to Iggy Beaumont, everyone's favourite barista and all-round sweetheart.

After being left at the altar by the guy Harvey once told him wasn't good enough for him, Iggy's heart still hasn't mended. He's not ready to date yet, but when Harvey offers him a no-strings-attached deal, he jumps at the chance for risk-free affection from someone he trusts.

All they have to do is avoid falling in love. How hard can that be?

They're only each other's first ever crush, after all...

Grinding is the second book in the Otter Bay series, but can absolutely be read alone. It ends on a HEA, with no cliffhanger, and contains: a chocolate Labrador puppy called Theobromine (Theo for short), an accidental fake engagement, coffee, lots of makeout sessions, a sword fight, steamy scenes, goats, a fairytale wedding gone wrong, and true love conquering all.
