The Roommate Experiment

By Josh Sorenson

A Contemporary Romance Novel

When a blocked romance novelist offers his couch to his best friend's heartbroken sister, neither expects to find inspiration-or love-in a tiny Seattle apartment.

Josh Miller writes bestselling romance novels under a female pen name, but he hasn't written a decent love scene in months. He's forgotten what real passion feels like-if he ever knew at all.

Clara Martinez shows up at Josh's door at midnight with two suitcases and a broken heart. She needs a place to crash while she figures out her life. She's done with love and ready to focus on her own neglected writing dreams.

As the Seattle rain falls, two lonely writers discover an unexpected connection. Between morning coffee and late-night writing sessions, they challenge each other to be brave-both on the page and in life. But when the past comes calling with promises of security and certainty, they must decide if what they've built together is worth the risk.

Set in 1997 Seattle, this is a story about finding your voice, choosing courage over comfort, and discovering that the best love stories are the ones you write together.
