When Elsie Hannaway isn't grinding away as an underpaid adjunct professor, she's moonlighting as a fake girlfriend—a gig that pays surprisingly well and lets her flex her people-pleasing superpowers. But everything implodes when Jack Smith, the infuriatingly attractive brother of one of her clients, turns out to be the cold-hearted physicist who destroyed her mentor's career, and worse, he's now sitting on the hiring committee between her and her dream job at MIT. What starts as scholarly sabotage plans quickly short-circuits when Elsie discovers that Jack sees her for exactly who she is—no performance required—and suddenly the line between enemy and something far more dangerous gets dangerously blurry. Can two scientists who operate on completely different wavelengths find a way to prove that love doesn't have to follow the rules?
