description: 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. Which 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.
