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.

She has no time for relationships. Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It’s how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus, with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.

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 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.

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.

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 a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again...

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.

Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her–and Viola has no idea why. When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can’t think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you.

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.

Hannah’s got a bad feeling about this. Not only has the NASA aerospace engineer found herself injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station - but the one person willing to undertake the hazardous rescue mission is her longtime rival. Ian has been many things to Hannah: the villain who tried to veto her expedition and ruin her career, the man who stars in her most deliciously lurid dreams...but he’s never played the hero. So why is he risking everything to be here? And why does his presence seem just as dangerous to her heart as the coming snowstorm?

Hy-poth-è-se (nom commun) Supposition ou tentative d'explication faites sur la base de preuves limitées, servant de point de départ à des recherches plus poussées. Exemple : d'après les informations disponibles et les données collectées à ce jour, mon hypothèse est que plus je me tiens éloignée de l'amour, mieux je me porte. Étudiante en troisième année de doctorat, Olive Smith ne croit pas à l'amour. Mais sa meilleure amie, si, et c'est justement ce qui l'a fourrée dans ce pétrin.

Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: When it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn….

« Je te hais depuis le jour où j’ai entendu ton nom pour la première fois. Je te hais depuis que j’ai lu dans le Scientific American ce que tu avais fait. Je te hais depuis l’âge de douze ans. Je te hais plus que tu ne me hais, depuis plus longtemps et pour de meilleures raisons. Jack n’a plus du tout l’air amusé. Et pour moi, c’est une première.

All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

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.

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.

Oui, c’était un colosse taciturne, maussade et sombre. Il était secret, introverti. Il avait un tempérament réservé et distant. Je ne pouvais exiger de lui qu’il m’apprécie, et n’en avais aucune intention. Toutefois, s’il pouvait être courtois, poli, même aimable avec tous les autres, il aurait pu faire un effort avec moi, aussi. Mais non – à l’évidence, Levi Ward me méprisait, et, face à une telle haine… Eh bien. Je n’avais d’autre choix que le haïr en retour.

Logically, Sadie knows that civil engineers are supposed to build bridges. However, as a woman of STEM she also understands that variables can change, and when you are stuck for hours in a tiny New York elevator with the man who broke your heart, you earn the right to burn that brawny, blond bridge to the ground. Erik can apologize all he wants, but to quote her rebel leader - she’d just as soon kiss a Wookiee.
