The Pen Name Project (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988060031)

What happens when romance needs a bit of research?

Samantha MacMillian is in a bit of a pickle. After an almost year-long writer's block, she's finally decided what she wants to try writing next - a romance. But Sam isn't going to write just any romance novel.

Sam is gonna write smut.

There's only one tiny little problem: Sam has little to no experience in the romance department. Between the ongoing tension with her family and a contract deadline with her publisher breathing down her neck, she simply hadn't had the time or energy for it. Not to mention that she is *still* dealing with the aftermath of her last attempt at romance.

This is when her best friend, Charlie, proposes a unique solution - a fake dating experiment.

It sounds straightforward enough: the two go on dates and act like any regular couple so that Sam can take notes for her book. Including the physical sides of a relationship...

As long as Sam doesn't start mixing her very real-life feelings for Charlie for the fictional world she's trying to create, things should work out... right?
