GoodReads Blurb:
The many lives of theoretical
physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an
adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in
the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent
paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her
expertly honed people pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself
the client needs.
Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully
constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly
attractive and broody older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the
cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and
undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And that same Jack who now
sits on the hiring committee at MIT, right between Elsie and her dream job.
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly
sabotage 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?
