Cormac Delaney was everything I hated about men—arrogant,
smug and condescending, but he was also everything my body responded
to—gorgeous, tall, brooding, and confident. Oh, and he happened to be a partner
at the publishing company I was trying to get signed to. My
book—“Fu*#$@Boys”—about how men are selfish, sex-crazed pigs—was one vote away
from being published—his vote. But not only did he hate my book, he asked me a
question that would change things between us forever:
“How can you be an expert on men when you’ve never been in a
real relationship?”
He had a point, but I wasn’t about to let him know. Instead
I did what any self-respecting writer and podcaster would do—I proposed a
radical social experiment. Cormac and I would live together for one month as
boyfriend and girlfriend. If he could change my mind about men I’d withdraw my
book. If not, he’d agree to publish it.
My only condition? No sex, or anything physical, whatsoever.
I never thought he’d go for it, but I guess I was wrong
about him, in more ways than one. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Cormac Delaney,
even if he is easy on the eyes. . .fine, he’s good looking. . .alright, he’s
hot as hell, but still! To do this I’m going to have to remind myself of a few
things: we’re only an experiment, nothing more. He’s not the most gorgeous man
I’ve ever seen in my life, he absolutely does not have a body that makes me
tingle in all the right places, and I’m never, under any circumstances, going
to let myself fall for him. . .
Right?
With an introverted mind and a sarcastic sense of humor,
Christopher Harlan has been many things throughout his life. He started life as
a mixed up mixed kid, like his protagonist, Logan, in his bestselling Young
Adult novel “Away From Here”, and now spends his days writing stories. He’s
published over 15 books in contemporary romance and young adult, and has no
plans of stopping anytime soon. The one constant in his life has been his love
of a good book, and his passion for telling stories. He was born and raised in
Queens, New York.
