The American Roommate Experiment

When Rosie Graham's New York apartment ceiling literally caves in on her, she figures borrowing her best friend's spare key is the universe throwing her a lifeline. What she doesn't expect is to find a gorgeous, insufferably charming Spaniard already living there — and not just any Spaniard. Lucas Martín, the man she's been low-key obsessing over on Instagram for months, is standing in Lina's kitchen like he owns the place. Because, temporarily, he does.

Rosie is already drowning. She secretly quit her stable job to chase her dream of writing romance novels, her family has no idea, and her writer's block is so severe she can barely string two sentences together. The last thing she needs is a roommate — especially one who insists on helping her. Lucas, warm and annoyingly attentive, proposes a solution: he'll act as her real-life research subject, staging fake dates and romantic scenarios to kickstart her imagination. It's purely practical. Completely professional. Absolutely nothing more.

Except that pretending is a dangerous game when the tension between them is anything but fictional.

Set against the electric backdrop of New York City, this follow-up to the beloved *The Spanish Love Deception* delivers everything fans fell for — slow-burn chemistry, laugh-out-loud banter, and a romance that sneaks up on you before you realize you're completely gone. Rosie came to New York for a fresh start. She didn't plan on Lucas being part of it. Now she can't imagine the story without him.
