Neuroscientist Dr. Frances Silberstein has always had success on the brain. In grad school, she turned down a job – and her accomplished boyfriend – to forge her own academic path. Five years later, she’s still single, hustling from project to project, and about to face her ex at a high-stakes conference – the same ex who once told her she’d never make it on her own. When an argument with her meticulous and infuriatingly attractive rival Dr. Lewis North leads to a mistaken assumption that they’re a couple, Frances accidentally confirms the misconception, inadvertently putting both their careers at stake.
