SINGLE: Unmarried or not involved in a stable relationship. MEEKA The pure term ‘being single’ makes me want to gag every time I hear it. To me, the worst part is the fact that you’re constantly reminded of your status. Like, do you really think I can forget I’m single? I’ve dated more Mr. Wrong’s than I can count, and now, the network that I work for wants me to share my messed up dating history with the world. To make matters more humiliating, my arch nemesis—aka Mr. Missed Opportunity—has a front row seat to my walking, talking mistakes. TONE To say working with Meeka on this assignment is bound to go badly, would be an understatement. We’ve never gotten along, and I have a good reason for staying clear. Everything about her screams … extra! So, of course when our network needs me to assist her with her project, I’m intrigued to hear what her exes have to say about their past relationship. Maybe I’ll get some insight into her character or validate my assumptions. Or unbeknownst to me, I might just find myself connecting with this loud, crazy woman more than I ever thought I would. They say don’t mix business with pleasure. Funny, I never liked that rule. \\\This is a romantic comedy and the start of the Social Experiment series.

IVY It all started off as a social experiment. A way for me to do something outside my comfort zone. The problem is, I never expected to run into him. The beautifully tatted man who oozes masculinity and sex appeal. The first time I met Theseus Hood, our chemistry was instant. Yet, I’ve never known what to do with a man like him. The dark, dangerous and way out of my league kind. Unfortunately, I’m in way over my head and can’t think of a better person to help me with my experiment than Theseus. If only I could find the courage to ask him. THESEUS I fell for Ivy Ashwood the day I met her years ago. Now, she’s in my tattoo shop looking more delicious than the last time I saw her. I can always sense when she’s overthinking something, but she doesn’t want to ask for my help. Lucky for her, I consider myself an Ivy-expert. I’ve never been good enough for her, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for this woman. So, when it comes to helping her out, the plan is simple … Convince her that I’m the only man for the job and finally make the move I should have made years ago.
