The Love Hypothesis

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.

Ali Hazelwood

Ali Hazelwood is a New York Times bestselling romance author known for her witty dialogue, intelligent heroines, and emotionally engaging love stories that blend humor, science, and irresistible romantic tension. With a background in neuroscience, Hazelwood frequently draws inspiration from academic and scientific environments, creating stories about ambitious women navigating demanding careers, complicated relationships, and the challenges of finding love while pursuing their dreams. Her writing combines sharp banter, heartfelt vulnerability, and memorable characters who discover that matters of the heart can be far less predictable than scientific experiments.

Hazelwood is best known for her bestselling debut novel, *The Love Hypothesis*, which follows a graduate student whose fake relationship with a notoriously difficult professor develops into something unexpectedly real. Her other popular novels include *Love on the Brain*, *Love, Theoretically*, *Not in Love*, *Deep End*, and *Check & Mate*. She has also expanded into paranormal romance with *Bride* and *Mate*, bringing her signature romantic chemistry and humor to supernatural worlds. Across her work, Hazelwood explores themes of ambition, vulnerability, trust, belonging, and the courage to pursue both professional fulfillment and meaningful relationships.

For readers who love smart romantic comedies featuring strong heroines, slow-burn attraction, and unforgettable chemistry, Hazelwood delivers stories filled with humor, passion, and heart. Her books are especially suited to readers who enjoy STEM romances, academic settings, fake dating, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, workplace romance, paranormal romance, and love stories where even the most logical minds discover that falling in love rarely follows the rules.
