Elena Armas the undisputed queen of slow-burn, swoony rom-coms, returns with an irresistible follow-up to The Spanish Love Deception. Rosie Graham has a problem—or several. She has quit her well-paid job to secretly pursue a career as a romance writer, hasn’t told her family, and is facing severe writer’s block, when her New York apartment ceiling collapses. With nowhere to go, she uses her best friend’s spare key, only to find the apartment already occupied by Lucas Martín—her Instagram crush and Lina’s charming cousin. Lucas is handsome, attentive, walks around in a towel, cooks, and soon offers Rosie a place to stay along with a bold experiment: a series of “practice dates” designed to reignite her romantic inspiration before her deadline. But Lucas’s time in New York is limited, and six weeks may not be enough—for the book, or for their hearts. The American Roommate Experiment is a playful, forced-proximity, slow-burn romance filled with chemistry, longing and irresistible tension
