Blue sky background. Foreground has a cartoon image of a man and a woman. The man is white, wears glasses and is wearing a reddish brown shirt and tan trousers. The woman is brown with black hair, and is wearing a reddish brown jacket, white top and jeans. The background is a seaside image with a lighthouse in the distance and seagulls. The title How Can I Resist You has a seagull holding a chip in its beak sitting on it.

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 …
