Love, Theoretically

Publisher: BerkleyDescription:
It’s a rivalry that
runs as old and as deep as the feuds between the Capulets and the
Montagues, the Yankees and the Red Sox, Batman and the Joker, Tom and
Jerry: theoretical versus experimental physicists. Elsie
Hannaway is firmly in the camp of theoretical physics—an adjunct
professor by day, she toils long and hard to teach students about the
laws of thermodynamics in hopes of landing tenure. But to make ends
meet, Elsie takes on another role in her (very) limited spare time: fake
girlfriend. In this career, Elsie can pretend to be anyone her client
needs her to be… and while she’s not supposed to go on more than one
date with a guy, she develops a soft spot for one who really needs her
help in front of his family. What could possibly go wrong?
Here is what can go wrong: her client has an older brother. A very hot older
brother. And, on an interview for her dream tenure-track position in
MIT’s physics department, Elsie learns that said older brother is a
member of the hiring committee. And he also just so happens to be the
very same experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and is
the reason why the entire science field views theoretical physicists as
wastes of space. Did we mention that he happens to be terribly sexy? And
he thinks that Elsie is a librarian who has been dating his brother?
Elsie
is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage when her physics
nemesis realizes that Elsie isn’t who she had claimed to be. But…those
long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true
self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit
finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into
practice?
