Love, Theoretically

Theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway juggles a low-paid adjunct job with a secret side gig as a fake girlfriend for hire, playing whatever role her clients need. Her carefully separated lives collide when she interviews for her dream faculty position and finds that one of the panelists is Jack Smith, a brilliant experimental physicist who is also the older brother of her favorite fake-dating client and an outspoken critic of her field. Academic rivalry, pretending and unexpected honesty follow as Elsie realizes Jack may see the real her better than anyone. A witty, nerdy STEM rom-com.
