As the daughter of a billionaire and the owner of the city’s top wine store, Jordan Rhodes is invited to the most exclusive parties in Chicago.

The Instant New York Times Bestseller and TikTok Sensation! As seen on THE VIEW! A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021 When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. 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.

He’s falling hard…right into the walls she's put up between them. Former Army Captain Vanessa Emerson wants one thing. Control. After being held captive by terrorists, her world is still wrapped in anxiety and PTSD, and the last thing she needs is a man. Especially not Damian Scott: billionaire developer, philanthropist, and walking suit ad. But when he makes her an offer she can’t refuse to head a housing project for disabled veterans, suddenly he’s got a new title—Boss. Worse, he’s far too charming for his own good and has a habit of pushing all her buttons. Damian Scott has everything money can buy, except the one thing he craves: a woman who challenges him. Vanessa. Smart, irreverent, and utterly unimpressed by his wealth, she’s the only person who makes him feel like a real man instead of a walking bank account.

The only thing real about their fake relationship? The chemistry. Calypso Elliot creates chaos wherever she goes, a hurricane in a handbasket who came to Superstition Springs to restart her life, not attract the attention of a stalker. The last thing she expects is for Garrison Rockwell to jump at the chance to play her fake boyfriend-slash-bodyguard. He attends to her every need. Takes care of her and her problems. It’s so…sexy. Ex-Navy SEAL Garrison Rockwell likes everything in its place and structures his life in this tiny Texas town to ensure it stays that way. It makes no sense why he’d be so intensely attracted to a hot mess like Calypso Elliot. They’re totally incompatible. But faking things is so much fun, it’s easy to forget. Except Calypso is the opposite of a woman Garrison can build a normal, non-chaotic life with. She’s not so sure he can handle a woman like her long term, either. There’s no way this can last forever…even if they fall for each other. Tropes · Bodyguard · Fake boyfriend · Opposites attract · Soulmates · Matchmaker · Alpha cinnamon roll SEAL hero · Wounded warrior (his scars are on the inside) · Found family · Slow burn · Closed door/kissing only
