He expects to come across a myriad of treasure troves shadowing inventors throughout the university, but nothing prepares him for what he finds in the surgical sciences department - PhD student Liam Payne, who has a charming smile and will stop at nothing to change the future of cardiology. By shadowing Liam's research, Zayn learns everything there is to know about the human heart, but what he finds even more valuable is discovering just how easy an introverted brainiac like him can be to love.Complete
