Claire Kennedy is the anonymous voice behind a wildly popular sex blog smart, sassy, and always up for an adventure.... Or so her fans think.
In reality, Claire is quiet, bookish, and hasn t been on a date in over a year. But when Mark the charming publisher she s been flirting with online suggests they meet in real life, the fantasy risks falling apart.
Mark is offering everything Claire s ever wanted: an actual relationship, a hot book deal, and a foot in the door of London s literary scene. There s just one problem she needs dating experience, fast.
Enter Luca: laid-back, infuriating, and annoyingly attractive. He agrees to help Claire with some very hands-on research... as long as she doesn t get the wrong idea. He s not boyfriend material and this is strictly practice.
But as sparks fly and lines blur, Claire starts to wonder: Can the rough draft end up being better than the real thing?
