Jack Smith has a superhero jawline, adorable dimples, and strong, sculpted arms—attributes that simultaneously irritate and attract Elsie. Sharp-tongued, charismatic, and self-assured, Jack keeps a close watch on his brother’s girlfriend, whom he completely distrusts. And for good reason.
Because Elsie isn't really a librarian—she's a physicist with a PhD. By day, she works in a lab. By night, she goes on fake-paid dates with a pretend boyfriend.
Worst of all, Jack is an experimental physicist who ruthlessly destroyed the career of her mentor and nearly an entire scientific field. Elsie has hated him since she was twelve, and now that they’re set to work together at MIT, she’s determined to make his life miserable.
But will she land her dream job when Jack holds the final decision? And what happens when the space between them narrows—to a kiss?
