The Love Hypothesis

### Based on the available information and the data hitherto collected, my
hypothesis is that the further I stay away from love, the better off I will
be.

'Contemporary romance's unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and
delightfully escapist.' Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of
The Unhoneymooners



*

When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of
attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into
chaos.

As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting
romantic relationships but her best friend does, and that's what got her into
this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive on her way to a happily ever after
was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-
respecting woman, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.

That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor and well-
known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when he agrees to keep her
charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference
goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his
unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to
combustion.

Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on
love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
