Love Theoretically (Authentic verified) by Ali Hazelwood

"The many facets of Elsie Hannaway?s life have at long last converged, and the time has come for her to reckon with the dual existence she has so carefully crafted. By day, she labors as an adjunct professor, dedicating herself to the uncelebrated task of grading papers and imparting the principles of thermodynamics in the hope of securing a tenure that remains ever elusive. By another day, Elsie seeks to make ends meet by assuming the role of a counterfeit companion?using her finely honed skills of accommodation and charm to be whatever her clients desire.

While this arrangement may seem, at first glance, a convenient and satisfactory one, the delicate balance she has so carefully maintained is soon threatened. For Jack Smith?insufferably handsome, infuriatingly arrogant, and the elder sibling of her most valued client?proves to be none other than the cold, calculating experimental physicist who brought ruin to her beloved mentor?s career and cast a long shadow over the reputation of theoretical physicists. Moreover, he is the very same Jack Smith who reigns supreme over the physics department at MIT, a formidable obstacle between Elsie and the academic position she has long dreamed of.

Elsie, prepared for a battle of scholarly cunning and subtle sabotage, soon finds herself unprepared for the intensity of Jack?s gaze?those piercing looks that seem to see straight through her, and the inexplicable ease with which she finds herself in his presence, no longer needing to play a part. With her most guarded theories on love?those intellectual constructions designed to safeguard her heart?beginning to fray, Elsie must ask herself: Will the gravitational pull of this experimentalist?s orbit finally compel her to put her theories to the test in the realm of the heart?"
