“Not in Love” by Ali Hazelwood

Rue Siebert has one rule for romance: no repeats. She’s a biotech engineer with a good career, great friends, and a heart that stays well-guarded. Then her date with gorgeous businessman Eli Killgore gets interrupted by her volatile brother, and she figures that’s the end of it.

It isn’t. The next morning, she learns that her company is facing a hostile takeover, and Eli is on the team trying to make it happen.

What follows is a forbidden, secret affair that proves all’s fair in love and science. This is Ali Hazelwood at her steamiest, with sizzling chemistry, a hero who is thoughtful as well as sexy, and plenty of heart. Publishers Weekly called it raunchy and emotionally nuanced, and it was an Indie Next and LibraryReads Hall of Fame pick. Adult readers only.

This paperback includes the exclusive illustration. It’s in acceptable condition, a well-read copy with visible wear but complete and readable. You can find it at Dead Tree Dreams.
