The Integral Attraction - Annie Harlan

Cassie Evans has everything figured out - at least on paper. A rising star in the world of academia, the brilliant collegiate math professor is earning recognition for her research and teaching. But while her career is adding up perfectly, her love life has been a series of failed equations.

That changes after a chance encounter with a mysterious, dark-eyed stranger leads to a night of passion she can't forget. Unfortunately, Monday morning brings an unexpected complication: the stranger is Samuel Little, the university's newly appointed dean - and Cassie's boss's boss.

Determined not to jeopardize the career she's worked so hard to build, Cassie tries to keep her distance. But Sam refuses to let the connection between them fade. As if things weren't complicated enough, Cassie finds herself drawn to another charming colleague, English professor Chad, whose attention offers a tempting distraction.

Soon, professional collaboration turns personal, tensions rise, and Cassie finds herself caught between ambition and attraction. In a world of academic rivalries, late-night research sessions, and undeniable chemistry, Cassie must decide whether love is worth the risk - or if some equations are better left unsolved.
