Meet Rebecca, an adorable gal with an intimate secret…
For Rebecca, sex is a joke missing a punchline. No crashing waves. Only pangs of inadequacy. At twenty-eight, shouldn’t she have had one by now? Her snickering ex thought so. His taunts echo in her ears as he rolls out of her bed. Then out of her life.
After enrolling in an unconventional study for women, Rebecca is stunned by the power she holds inside. But her promise to avoid intimacy hits a snag when a handsome neighbor moves across the hall. Their chemistry is electric, but the timing couldn’t be worse!
If he learns her secret, she’ll lose her best chance at love. But if her intimacy lessons fail, she’ll be left eternally broken. Unlovable.
Can Rebecca find the answers she needs to love someone new—and finally love herself?
