The Real Thing — Grant C. Holland

“I think it sounds like fun!”

With those words, Dex Sutherland, the new veterinarian in Catlett's Cove, expressed his interest in helping out Caleb Quince with a scheme to convince corporate bosses that he had a real boyfriend even though his last relationship ended weeks earlier. It wasn't Dex's first experience as a fake boyfriend either.

It didn't take long before both secretly hoped that the fake relationship was more real than planned. Unfortunately, it soon became clear that sorting out reality wasn't the only issue Dex and Caleb might face as a couple.

Travel back to the shores of Summers Lake for the fourth and final Catlett's Cove novel. The Real Thing is a 50,000 word novel with a fake relationship, quick course in herpetology, and steamy scenes. It can be read as a standalone, but reading the three previous novels in the Catlett's Cove series will give you insight into the group of friends that stand by and support Dex and Caleb as they find their way to a happily-ever-after ending.
