After exposing academic fraud committed by a star faculty member, Harvard PhD student Madelyn is appointed to collaborate with top neuroscientist Dr. Alex Manning, who is tied to the scandal and whose career she has nearly destroyed. ── .✦ Madelyn Chung is one of the best clinical psychology PhD students Harvard has ever seen - the most controversial, too. After discovering academic fraud conducted by Harvard's star faculty, Dr. Charlotte Shelby, her future career seems uncertain as whispers accuse her of being a burdensome whistleblower. With a potential groundbreaking research project in the line, she is appointed to work with Dr. Alex Manning, Harvard's young neuroscientist and professor who revolutionized several research in his field. A life-changing opportunity for Maddie - but she must deal with the fact that Alex was one of Charlotte's past collaborators, and his career was at stake because of the scandal. Maddie has always been careful when trudging through the endless hours of clinical shifts and research. But when she doesn't know if the longing stares from Alex every time he tries to make her life harder are an indication of hatred, or if they mean something else, she starts to feel unprepared. Because Maddie knows she is a falling star, and if she holds onto the fragile trust between her and Alex too tightly, she will only fall harder.

With his charming quips, that devastatingly gorgeous grin, and his uncanny ability to find the chinks in her perfect armour, Alex is someone Blaire is determined to avoid at all costs. But in the long months that make up her stressful year, he seems to be the only one who is able to handle her obsessive and intense nature. And that makes him all the more dangerous. Because self control is all Blaire has. And Alex can't seem to stop testing her. © taryn SPORTS ROMANCE ╱ AFC GREENWICH #1.
