A forbidden, secret affair proves that all’s fair in love and science—from New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood.
Rue Siebert might not have it all, but she has enough: a few friends she can always count on, the financial stability she yearned for as a kid, and a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in the field of food science. Her world is stable, pleasant, and hard-fought. Until a hostile takeover and its offensively attractive front man threatens to bring it all crumbling down.
Eli Killgore and his business partners want Kline, period. Eli has his own reasons for pushing this deal through—and he’s a man who gets what he wants. With one burning exception: Rue. The woman he can’t stop thinking about. The woman who's off-limits to him.
Torn between loyalty and an undeniable attraction, Rue and Eli throw caution out the lab and the boardroom windows. Their affair is secret, no-strings-attached, and has a built-in deadline: the day one of their companies will prevail. But the heart is risky business—one that plays for keeps.

      Starred review from April 1, 2024
      Bestseller Hazelwood’s raucous latest STEMinist rom-com (after Love, Theoretically) turns up the heat. Rue Siebert doesn’t want romance. She’s perfectly content with her dream job working as a biotech engineer for a food science company alongside her lifelong best friend, Tisha, and using dating apps for impromptu hookups. Vigilant about protecting herself from vulnerability and heartbreak, she has a strict “no repeats” rule. But her most recent date with gorgeous businessman Eli Killgore is interrupted by her volatile brother before it can really begin. The next day, a frustrated Rue’s life is turned upside down by an aggressive takeover of her company. Leading the charge? Eli and his partners. Though across corporate enemy lines, neither Eli nor Rue can stop thinking about their aborted date. Their tension becomes so distracting, that, with a work deadline looming over their heads, they decide on a no strings attached tryst to get it out of their system. But soon they’re both coming back for more. The chemistry leaps off the page and Eli’s intelligence and thoughtfulness toward Rue will have readers swooning. Crafting a relationship that is both raunchy and emotionally nuanced, this is Hazelwood at her best.

      Narrators Callie Dalton and Jason Clarke mesmerize listeners with this enemies-to-lovers romance. Rue Siebert has a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, where she is working on a promising food science start-up. Along come the vexingly handsome Eli Killgore and his business partners, who threaten to take over the company. Dalton and Clarke transition seamlessly between the characters' dialogue, creating expressive, unique voices. Dalton's slightly aloof tone complements Rue's guarded emotions and mistrust, while Clarke's warm, growly timbre encompasses Eli's dedication to his work and his charismatic but controlling commitment to Rue's happiness. Listeners will be fully immersed in Rue and Eli's love story as they put aside their hostilities and find a life together. J.J.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine

      Sometimes Rue feels like "dozens of neuroses in a lab coat," but she has a small group of friends who support her no matter what, and when she needs something more physical, she has sex-positive apps to help find hookups without hang-ups. When one such setup results in a failed rendezvous because of Rue's family drama, she is first disappointed and then endlessly relieved, as Eli, the missed match, turns out to be part of the group that just acquired the food science firm where she works. Though the outsiders incite a rivalry, Rue and Eli can't overlook their attraction. Hazelwood (Bride) presents a racy STEM rom-com full of well-developed, witty characters. Narrators Callie Dalton and Jason Clarke give expressive performances of Rue and Eli's first-person perspectives. Together they turn each moment, from upbeat to explicit, into an engaging listening experience, though the decision to have them read their own dialogue, even in the other's respective chapters, interrupts the otherwise fast-paced flow. VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a steamy, sex-positive contemporary romance about biotech and betrayal. Recommended for fans of Chloe Liese, Abby Jimenez, and Elena Armas.--Lauren Hackert
