The Love Hypothesis
'Contemporary romance's unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and delightfully escapist.' Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
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 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. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.
Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
The Love Hypothesis
An LGBT romantic comedy with a twist from the Comedy Women in Print prize winner Laura Steven, author of The Exact Opposite of Okay. A hilarious love story with bite, for fans of Sex Education, Booksmart, Becky Albertalli's Love, Simon and Jenny Han's To All The Boys I've Loved Before.
Physics genius Caro Kerber-Murphy knows she's smart. With straight As and a college scholarship already in the bag, she's meeting her two dads' colossal expectations and then some. But there's one test she's never quite been able to ace: love. And when, in a particularly desperate moment, Caro discovers a (definitely questionable) scientific breakthrough that promises to make you irresistible to everyone around you, she wonders if this could be the key.
What happens next will change everything Caro thought she knew about chemistry - in the lab and in love. Is hot guy Haruki with her of his own free will? Are her feelings for her best friend Keiko some sort of side-effect? Will her dog, Sirius, ever stop humping her leg?
Laura is the author of fiercely funny feminist comedy The Exact Opposite of Okay and its sequel, A Girl Called Shameless. The Exact Opposite of Okay was a bestselling young adult debut in 2018 and won the inaugural Comedy Women in Print prize, founded by Helen Lederer, from a shortlist including Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Why Mummy Swears by Gill Sims.
Praise for The Exact Opposite of Okay:
'A brilliant social satire ... disarmingly charming and relatable ... it was hilarious. Laura Steven is an explosive talent on the page!' CWIP judges Marian Keyes, Kathy Lette, Katy Brand, Allison Pearson, Shazia Mirza and Jennifer Young
'Laura Steven simultaneously destroyed the patriarchy and made me laugh so hard I choked. I will protect Izzy O'Neill with my life.' Becky Albertalli, author of Love, Simon

Love on the Brain
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis - with explosive results.
Bee Koenigswasser 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 - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.
Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school - archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.
But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas... devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing.
But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Koenigswasser do?
The Spanish Love Deception
A wedding in Spain. The most infuriating man. Three days to convince your family you're actually in love. . .
Catalina Martin desperately needs a date to her sister's wedding. Especially when her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows - including her ex-boyfriend and his fiancee - will be there.
She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic for her and aid in her deception. NYC to Spain is no short flight and her family won't be easy to fool. . . But even then, when Aaron Blackford - the 6'4", blue-eyed pain in the arse - offers to step in, she's not tempted even for a second. Never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling and insufferable man.
But Catalina is desperate and as the wedding gets closer the more desirable an option Aaron Blackford becomes. . .
The Spanish Love Deception is an enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating romance. Perfect for those looking for a steamy slow-burn with the promise of a sweet happy-ever-after.
"Everything you could want in a romance is right here."
Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient

Ugly Love
ATTRACTION AT FIRST SIGHT CAN BE MESSY...
When Tate Collins finds airline pilot Miles Archer passed out in front of her apartment door, it is definitely not love at first sight. They wouldn't even go so far as to consider themselves friends. But what they do have is an undeniable mutual attraction.
He doesn't want love and she doesn't have time for a relationship, but their chemistry cannot be ignored. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up, as long as Tate can stick to two rules:
Never ask about the past and don't expect a future.
Tate is determined that she can handle it, but when she realises that she can't, will she be able to say no to her sexy pilot when he lives just next door?
Love Theoretically
From the author of tiktok sensations and global bestsellers The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.
Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom.
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. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favourite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor's career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he's the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but... those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she's with him? Will falling into an experimentalist's orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?
Na love

Keď sa však s Adamom opäť stretnú, nič sa neuzavrie, práve naopak - jej láska vzplanie s rovnakou intenzitou ako jeho vášeň a zdá sa, že sú znovu na začiatku. Obaja sa rozhodnú, že sú lovci, a až do poslednej chvíle nie je jasné, kto z nich sa nakoniec stane korisťou.
Júlia je Adamova divoká karta. Keď na ňu prvýkrát stavil, stratil hlavu, pokoj aj plány do budúcnosti. A skončil s prázdnymi rukami.

Nájomná vrahyňa na love
Finlay Donovanová sa opäť snaží dokončiť svoj ďalší román a udržať sa nad vodou ako slobodná matka dvoch detí. Po boku má spoľahlivú opatrovateľku svojich detí a dôverníčku Vero a jediné mŕtve telo, o ktoré sa v poslednom čase musela postarať, je telo zlatej rybky jej dcéry.
Problém nastáva, keď Finlay zistí, že niekto chce, aby jej bývalý manžel Steven zmizol. Natrvalo. Nech je Steven akýkoľvek, je dobrý otec, no jeho záchrana ju vrhne priamo do náručia vrahov maskujúcich sa za na pohľad nevinné matky s deťmi a Finlay sa zapletie s ruskou mafiou o niečo viac, ako by si želala.
Okrem toho Vero čosi tají a detektív Nick Anthony je odhodlaný vrátiť sa späť do Finlayinho života. Možno je to sexi policajt, ale Finlayinou hlavnou prioritou je zabrániť svojej rodine a najbližším, aby zistili, že v dome schováva mŕtvolu, a to aj za cenu porušenia niekoľkých zákonov.
S blížiacim sa termínom odovzdania novej knihy a s bývalým manželom, ktorého treba udržať pri živote, sa Finlay rýchlo dostáva na pokraj svojich možností.

Twisted Love - Ava & Alex
Egy repedés. Egy olvadás. És a szívében izzó tűz az egész világát felperzseli. Alex Volkov igazi angyalarcú ördög, aki nem szabadulhat borzalmas múltjától. Egész életében egy rettenetes gyermekkori tragédia emléke kínozta, és miközben az üzleti életben elképesztő sikereket ért el, folyamatosan csak a bosszú járt a fejében. Nem sok ideje maradt a szív dolgaira.
Amikor az élet úgy hozza, hogy neki kell vigyáznia a legjobb barátjának húgára, valami megmozdul a lelkében: Ava Chen szabadlelkű fiatal lány, akit rémálmok gyötörnek, és akit egy olyan gyermekkor kísért, amelyre még csak emlékezni sem tud. De a fájdalmas múlt sem tudta megtörni: még mindig látja a szépséget a világban… és annak a férfinak a jeges külseje alatt is észreveszi az érző szívet, akit nem lenne szabad kívánnia. A bátyja legjobb barátját. A szomszédját. Aki számára megváltás és végzet is egy személyben.
Az ő szerelmüknek nem lett volna szabad megtörténnie, mégis megtörtént. De olyan titkokat is a felszínre hozott, amelyek mindkettőjüket tönkretehetik, és persze mindent, ami fontos a számukra.

If Love Had A Price
A steamy opposites attract romance from Ana Huang, the New York Times bestselling author of the Kings of Sin and Twisted series
Every heart has a price.
She offered him $10,000 to seduce her father's gold-digging fiancée.
He countered with $15,000 and a kiss - from her. At any time he chose.
Kris should've said no, but she was desperate to get rid of her stepmother-to-be, and the gorgeous actor with the wicked grin was perfect for the job.
So she agreed to his terms - not knowing that doing so would cost her a lot more than money and a kiss...
He did it for the money - which he desperately needed.
The kiss was just a bonus - or so he told himself.
Melting an ice princess like Kris started as a challenge, but by the time Nate realized there was more to Kris than meets the eye, it was too late: he had fallen.
But they're not just from opposite sides of the track - they're from different worlds. And when those worlds collide, Kris and Nate must decide whether they're willing to give up what they have for what could be...
This is book three of the If Love series but can be read as a complete standalone.
Chronologically, it takes place between books one (If We Ever Meet Again) and two (If the Sun Never Sets).
Recommended for 18+ due to adult language and explicit content.
Murakami T : The T-Shirts I Love
The international literary icon opens his eclectic closet and shares photos of his extensive unique personal T-shirt collection, accompanied by essays that reveal a side of the writer rarely seen by the public.
This is the ultimate gift for Murakami fans.
Haruki Murakami's books have galvanized millions around the world. Many of his fans know about his 10,000-vinyl-record collection, and his obsession with running, but few have heard about a more intimate, and perhaps more unique, passion: his T-shirt-collecting habit.
In Murakami T, the famously reclusive novelist shows us his T-shirts - including gems found in bookshops, charity shops and record stores - from those featuring whisky, animals, cars and superheroes, to souvenirs of marathons and a Beach Boys concert in Honolulu, to the shirt that inspired the beloved short story 'Tony Takitani'. Accompanied by short, frank essays that have been translated into English for the first time, these photographs reveal much about Murakami's multifaceted and wonderfully eccentric persona.
