The Love Hypothesis

 When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible

the 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 is dating and well on her way
to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy
Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting
biologist, 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. This is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's
reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake
boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting
Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his
unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.

Suddenly
their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And
Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis
on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
