About the book
She wants experience. He wants her.
College senior, Charlotte “Charlie” Rogers is so over abstinence-only sex education. She dreams of dismantling patriarchal shame-tactics and launching her own comprehensive sex education curriculum.
The only catch? She’s still a virgin.
Sex-positive Charlie has a secret: she’s never practiced what she preaches.
Enter Wesley Quinn: Archwood University’s resident playboy and Charlie’s best friend-turned-nemesis who broke her heart three years ago. When Charlie lies to a failed hookup she slept with Wes, he confronts her. In a moment of vulnerability, Charlie reveals her secret.
But then Wes offers to sleep with her for real.
Convincing herself it’s purely for experimental purposes, Charlie agrees. But soon, old emotions resurface, the line between physical attraction and something more begins to blur, and Charlie discovers Wes might not be the arrogant man she thought he was.
When Charlie’s dream of a sex positive sex education program is put at risk, she must decide whether she’s willing to lose her ultimate goal or let go of the heart-stopping connection she thought she’d lost forever.
