Welcome to the local pub where a group of friends and bartenders aren’t looking for love but sometimes Sip Happens. Draven My friend Thayer’s wedding will be filled with eligible women and his fiancée expects me to have a date. But after my last relationship imploded like the buildings I demolish, I don’t need to be looking for someone new while standing in my heart’s rubble. Enter Breely, my bestie since elementary school. She’s chill like the Arctic, won’t have any expectations, and readily agrees to help me. A perfect fit. When the magical night takes place, I see Breely in a different light—twinkling and swirling light. She’s funnier than a comedian, curvy like the mountain roads, and starts to put the pieces of my heart back together. But can we take our relationship further than just friends or will we learn the lesson that Sip Happens and forever be broken hearts? The Sip Happens Neighborhood Pub is home to a group of guys who are the most eligible bachelors in the vacation destination town of Everville in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But eligible doesn’t always mean looking. Maybe when they stop looking…love will find them. This is a steamy short story romance. No Cliffhangers. No Cheating. Happily Ever After Guaranteed. Faking It with My Best Friend is the first in the Sip Happens series, but all in the series can be read as standalone stories. If you crave short romances with steamy scenes, women getting what they need and want, a few laughs, and a happily ever after, then you’ll love this story.
