*** A fake relationship, neighbors, small-town romance *** WANTED: a dating coach. I’m thirty years old and have no clue what a healthy, committed relationship is like. It doesn’t help that I have the social skills of a pineapple and coping mechanisms that veer toward avoidance. Enter my hot new neighbor. Jess Caldwell—the gorgeous green-eyed man next door—might be perfectly content with short-term flings, consisting mostly of sweaty, salacious, clothing-optional fun, but his family is not. He needs a girlfriend to get them off his back. I propose a mutually beneficial—regrettably platonic—dating arrangement. He’ll be my dating coach, and I’ll be his fake girlfriend. Jess has his work cut out for him trying to turn a painfully awkward relationship novice like me into a flirty, seductive siren. But my side of the arrangement isn’t exactly easy either. I can look at his broad-shouldered, glistening runner’s body every morning, but I can’t touch. I can’t attack him with my lips. I can’t climb him like a tree and press my eager body to his. And I definitely can’t let my love-deprived heart fall for the man who is quickly making me feel… everything. No matter how much I want to. Because not only is our relationship pretend, but our time together has an expiration date. Jess is leaving this town—and me—in just a few months. ___________ THE EXPERIMENT is a 100,000 word small-town, steamy, slow-burn romance, with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a HEA.
