description: Dr. Maximillian Ramsey has a problemIm a jerk. Everyone I know or have ever worked with agrees. Misanthropic asshole is the term I hear most often.I dont care what other people think as long as they leave me alone to focus on my research on soil microbiology.

Which is just the way I like it.Except Ive been short listed for one of the most prestigious academic fellowships around. To win it Ill have to give a series of speeches. On a stage. With an audience. While being filmed.Yeah. None of that is going to happen.Unfortunately my boss has a plan. He brings in one of the communications lecturers to give me a make over help me write the speeches and manage my social media.But the last thing I need is some nosy bossy gorgeous woman meddling in my life.And Holly is the solutionIm a mere communications lecturer at a prestigious research university. Im used to being outclassed and under-educated compared to the PhDs who surround me.But Im good at what I do. Brilliant actually.When Maxs boss (who happens to be my ex-husband) begs me to help transform this beast of a man into someone worthy of the fellowship I have my work cut out for me.Itll take a lot of badgering blatant manipulation and some outright thievery to get Max to cooperate. All of which I handle with the enough professionalism and restraint that should earn me a fancy grant.What I cant handle is how unexpectedly attractive I find the stubborn and brilliant man.This is a battle of wills and wits and neither is prepared to admit defeat Heart Smart is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone.
