Sadie Shaw and Jonah Fisher have been academic rivals since they first crossed paths as undergraduates in the literature department thirteen years ago. Now that a highly coveted teaching opportunity has come up, their rivalry hits epic proportions. Jonah needs the job to move closer to his recently divorced sister and her children, while Sadie needs the financial security and freedom of a full-time teaching position.
When Sadie notices that the job offers partner hire, however, she hatches a plot to get themboththe job. All they must do is get legally married. It’s a simple win-win solution but when sparks begin to fly, it becomes clear that despite their education, these two may not have thought this whole thing through.
Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Abby Jimenez,An Academic Affairpairs Jodi McAlister’s “smart, scorching, and emotionally resonant” (Freya Marske, author ofA Restless Truth) writing and academic background to prove that she’s one of the smartest rom-com writers working today.

被科普了eucatastrophe,指的是文学作品推进到高潮,在he和be两个走向之间走入了he,大概是绝迹重生的欣喜,而不是catastrophe。女主Sadie拥有一个亲密的姐姐,本书的故事线不仅是和男主Jonah从死对头到爱人的爱情线,更有Sadie和姐姐Chess建立更健康的亲密关系的支线,都很触动。
