When a wealthy podcast fan gifts your dating show hosts a stunning coastal cottage, it seems like the perfect setup for content—until you're stuck with only one bed and the woman you've secretly wanted for eight years asks you to coach her through dating other people. He's got a better idea: why not let him show her what she's been missing? But what starts as a week of "practice dates" quickly becomes something neither of them can ignore, and suddenly the real experiment is whether this grumpy-sunshine duo can admit what's been simmering between them all along. Perfect for fans of banter-filled romance with real heat and the delicious tension of best friends (sort of) finally crossing a line they can't uncross.
