As a third-year PhD 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 on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, 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 he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend.

The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she's an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs. Honestly, it's a pretty sweet gig - until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down.

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: what would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.

Olive Smith, aluna do doutorado em Biologia da Universidade Stanford, acredita na ciência–não em algo incontrolável como o amor. Depois de sair algumas vezes com Jeremy, ela percebe que sua melhor amiga gosta dele e decide juntá-los. Para mostrar que está feliz com essa escolha, Olive precisa ser convincente: afinal, cientistas exigem provas. Sem muitas opções, ela resolve inventar um namoro de mentira e, num momento de pânico, beija o primeiro homem que vê pela frente.

Rue Siebert might not have it all, but she has enough: a few friends she can always count on, the financial stability she yearned for as a kid, and a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in the field of food science. Her world is stable, pleasant, and hard-fought. Until a hostile takeover and its offensively attractive front man threatens to bring it all crumbling down. Eli Killgore and his business partners want Kline, period.

Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him. It's such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother's best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count, and Maya should just get over him.

Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast-again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold an historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange. Again . . .

Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A Junior at Stanford and a student-athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no time for relationships - at least, that's what she tells herself. Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy, Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.

Elsie Hannaway é uma física teórica que passou anos de sua vida moldando diferentes versões de si mesma. Em alguns dias, ela trabalha como professora adjunta, na esperança de conseguir um emprego melhor. Em outros, compensa seu ridículo salário oferecendo serviços de namorada de mentira, aproveitando sua habilidade de se adaptar exatamente ao que os outros querem dela.

Trois romances, trois héroïnes survoltées : Ali Hazelwood à la puissance maximale ! Scientifiques un jour, scientifiques toujours ; Mara, Sadie et Hannah partagent une solide amitié, même si la vie professionnelle les a séparées. Bien qu’elles aient chacune leur spécialité, aucune ne dira le contraire : en amour comme en science, les opposés s’attirent ! Que ce soit sous le même toit, dans un ascenseur ou quand il fait très froid, le mercure finit toujours par grimper.

As an environmental engineer, Mara knows all about the delicate nature of ecosystems. They require balance. And leaving the thermostat alone. And not stealing someone else's food. And other rules Liam, her detestable big-oil lawyer of a roommate, knows nothing about. Okay, sure, technically she's the interloper. Liam was already entrenched in his aunt's house like some glowering grumpy giant when Mara moved in, with his big muscles and kissable mouth just sitting there on the couch, tempting respectable scientists to the dark side.

É um clichê tão grande que o coração dela quase não aguenta: homem mais velho e mulher mais nova, empresário rico e estudante falida, melhor amigo do irmão e a garota na qual ele nunca reparou. Como Conor adora relembrar, a dinâmica de poder entre eles é totalmente desequilibrada. Qualquer relação entre os dois seria muito problemática e Maya precisa superá-lo. Afinal, Conor já deixou claro que não a quer em sua vida.

Scarlett Vandermeer está nadando contra a corrente, tentando equilibrar os estudos com a rotina de atleta. Concentrada em passar para a faculdade de medicina e se recuperar da lesão que quase deu fim à sua carreira nos saltos ornamentais, ela prefere levar uma vida discreta. Não tem tempo para relacionamentos. Ou pelo menos é o que diz para si mesma.

Serena Paris ist die Einzige ihrer Art, eine Waise ohne Rudel. Mit ihrem Bekenntnis, der erste Mensch-Werwolf-Hybrid der Geschichte zu sein, will sie die jahrhundertealte Kluft zwischen den verschiedenen Spezies überwinden. Doch stattdessen gerät sie mitten ins Zentrum des Konflikts zwischen den Wölfen, Vampiren und Menschen und wird zur Zielscheibe ihrer gefahrvollen Machenschaften. Bald ist ihr eine ganze Horde von Feinden auf den Fersen, und Serena bleibt nur ein Verbündeter–solange er sie denn bei sich haben will ...

Misery Lark, filha do vampiro mais poderoso do sudoeste, nunca foi bem-vista pelos seres de sua espécie. Ela passa seus dias anonimamente em meio aos humanos, isolada, até que é chamada para firmar um acordo de paz entre vampiros e licanos, seus inimigos mortais. Para isso, será obrigada a se casar com Lowe Moreland.

Seit einer Verletzung hat Turmspringerin Scarlett Vandermeer das Gefühl, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Introvertierter denn je, will sie sich auf ihr Studium fokussieren. Für komplizierte Beziehungen hat sie erst recht keine Zeit. Für Lukas Blomqvist, das Schwimm-Ass von Stanford, ist Disziplin einfach alles. So gewinnt er Goldmedaillen, so bricht er Rekorde: volle Konzentration und Härte, bei jedem Zug.

Rue Siebert a une règle d’or : elle n’accorde jamais de second rendez-vous. Cela participe à son équilibre de vie. Des amies fidèles (enfin, juste deux), la stabilité financière qui lui a fait défaut dans son enfance et un job de rêve chez Kline, une entreprise de biotechnologie, suffisent à son bonheur. Alors, quand elle quitte Eli Killgore après une soirée mémorable, elle sait qu’elle ne le reverra jamais.

Es ist zum Aus-der-Haut-Fahren, was für ein billiges Klischee sie abgeben: Älterer Mann trifft auf jüngere Frau; erfolgreicher Biotech-Startup-Macker trifft auf Studentin, die nicht annähernd klarkommt; seit Urzeiten bester Freund des Bruders auf ein Mädchen, von dem er noch nie gehört hat. Sprich: Zwischen Conor und Maya gibt es ein mehr als offensichtliches Machtgefälle, und Conor wird nicht müde, auf dessen kritische Implikationen hinzuweisen. Jede Art von Beziehung zwischen ihnen wäre in mehr als einer Hinsicht problematisch, und Maya solle doch bitte schön über ihn hinwegkommen.

Für Neurowissenschaftlerin Bee ist die Liebe nur ein neurophysiologischer Zwischenfall, hoffnungslos instabil und der wahre Bösewicht menschlicher Beziehungen, deren neuronale Grundlagen sie erforscht. Als Frau in den Naturwissenschaften ist Bee eine bedrohte Art in einer von Männern beherrschten Welt, in der für sie stets gilt: Was würde Marie Curie tun? Dann wird ihr die Leitung eines neurotechnischen Wunschprojekts angeboten – was Marie Curie sofort annehmen würde.

Misery Lark, fille du conseiller vampyre le plus puissant du Sud-Ouest, est une paria. Les jours où elle vivait dans l’anonymat parmi les humains sont désormais derrière elle : on a fait appel à elle pour renforcer une alliance historique afin de maintenir la paix entre les vampyres et leurs ennemis mortels, les loups-garous, et elle n’a guère d’autre choix que d’obéir. Les loups-garous sont impitoyables et imprévisibles, et leur alpha, Lowe Moreland, ne fait pas exception à la règle. Sa manière de la regarder, de suivre le moindre de ses mouvements, montre clairement qu’il n’a aucune confiance en elle.
