The Love Hypothesis - printed edges - Ali Hazelwood

Olive Smith is a third-year PhD student at Stanford University and does not believe in lasting romantic relationships. But her best friend is convinced that love matters, so to convince Anh that she is seeing someone and is on the right path toward happily ever after, Olive has to make a decision. Scientists need evidence. 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 a well-known jerk. Which is exactly why Olive is stunned when Stanford's lab tyrant agrees to play along and become her fake boyfriend. But when a major science conference goes disastrously wrong and threatens Olive's career, Adam surprises her again with his unwavering support—and rock-hard abs, six-pack and all.

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