"She had nothing to fear. With him, she would always be in control." Sophia Adkins had always known her worth, as a friend, a girlfriend, and a highly qualified medical scientist. When one unpredictable night changes the trajectory of her entire life plan, Sophia questions everything - and everyone. *** Dr Zach Hayes knows a few things with certainty. How to deliver bad news gently, how to (successfully) apply for a research grant, and how to keep his love life to 'one night only'. But when a past one night stand ends up as his new research colleague, what is he supposed to do? Definitely not offer her co-authorship of the paper. And definitely not get tangled in a ruse as her fake date to her ex's wedding. When two researchers have intense chemistry outside as well as inside the lab, sparks are going to fly. Be careful not to get burnt... Evelyn Astra's second stand-alone style, dual POV romance brings more spice, a golden retriever MMC, and a will they/won't they fake dating situation-ship that you won't be able to put down. Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ana Huang, and Kat Singleton!
