The Love Hypothesis
'Contemporary romance's unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and delightfully escapist.' Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.
Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

Love Theoretically
From the author of tiktok sensations and global bestsellers The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.
Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom.
The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she's an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.
Honestly, it's a pretty sweet gig - until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favourite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor's career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he's the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but... those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she's with him? Will falling into an experimentalist's orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?

Sladká Nevědomost
Ona je v hloubi duše romantička, ačkoli žije ve světě, kde romantika existuje jen jako slovo bez významu…
Přezdívají jí Sladká Abelli. Je nekonfliktní, usmívá se na povel a na všechno má okouzlující odpověď. Je donovo nejoblíbenější dítě, je prostě dokonalá mafiánská principessa. Nebo jí alespoň dřív byla.
Jediné, co nyní vidí v zrcadle, jsou zakrvácené ruce, které jako by si potřísnila červenou barvou.
Říká se, že první dojem je nejdůležitější…
V temném světě newyorského podsvětí si má Elenina sestra brát Nicolase Russoa – bosse a podvodníka takového formátu, že je to moc i na samotnou mafii. Jeho pověst ho předchází a je černější než jeho obleky a kravaty. Když ho Elena poprvé spatří, nedokáže se ovládnout a zlostně se na něj podívá. Díky tomu zjišťuje, že je muž nejen hrubý, ale také pohledný.
Nelíbí se jí jeho chování ani způsob života, přesto si její srdce nemůže pomoci a buší jako zběsilé kdykoli je mu nablízku. Nedokáže zabránit zachvění, které jí přejede po páteři pokaždé, když slyší jeho hlas.
A on je jí nablízku neustále. Přikazuje jí, co má dělat, a rozpaluje ji víc, než se na budoucího švagra sluší. Navenek je Elena Sladkou Abelli, ale ve skrytu duše si začíná uvědomovat, že jí učarovala jeho temnota, hrubé ruce, cigarety a oči barvy whisky. Jednou už si ale pověst pošpinila a nesmí dopustit, aby se minulost opakovala.
Navíc, i kdyby nakonec byli spolu, každý přece ví, že do mafiána se dívka nikdy nesmí zamilovat…nebo ano?
Toto je ucelený příběh o zakázané lásce.

Zrádná touha
Mila vždycky dělala jen to, co se od ní očekávalo. Oblékala se do společenských šatů, randila s dokonalými vysokoškoláky, a hlavně se na nic neptala. Nepokládala otázky ohledně časté nepřítomnosti svého otce, ani ohledně jeho odmítavého postoje k tomu, aby navštívila svou rodnou zem – Rusko.
Jenže všechna ta pravidla a nezodpovězené otázky ji natolik svazují, že se nakonec rozhodne udělat to, co si celý život přála.
Nasedne do letadla do Moskvy.
Nemá však ani tušení, že se přitom zamiluje do jistého muže. Muže s nevysvětlitelným jměním, tetováním na prstech a očima skrývajícíma mnohá tajemství. Příliš brzy se jeho jemné doteky změní v pevný stisk kolem krku tlumící její křik.
Pomsta nejlépe chutná za studena a není nic studenějšího než ruská zima. Mila díky tomu přijde na jediný způsob, jak přežít. Musí se pokusit o nemožné, a to rozmrazit srdce svého věznitele.
Je štátny prevrat, na víkend domov neprídem
Karol Lovaš sa s Alojzom Lorencom stretol prvýkrát v roku 1998 ako novinár. Po dvadsiatich rokoch sa zišli znovu. Spoločný rozhovor katolíckeho kňaza, ktorým sa Lovaš medzitým stal, a bývalého 1. námestníka federálneho ministra vnútra ČSSR, ktorý bol v rokoch 1986 ? 1989 zodpovedný za československú Štátnu bezpečnosť, reflektuje dobu minulú i súčasnú. Lorencove spomienky na Gustáva Husáka, Vasila Biľaka alebo Alexandra Dubčeka sú dôležitým svedectvom o dobe spred roku 1989. Lorenc stál ako jeden z hlavných aktérov pri jej konci. Nie je bežné, aby presvedčený ateista pristúpil na rozhovor s kňazom a rozprával sa s ním napríklad o viere, Bohu, cirkvi, o živote a smrti, vine a treste, o odpustení a zodpovednosti. Dramatik a spisovateľ Ján Solovič po prečítaní rukopisu napísal: „Ani jeden nepoužíva prázdne slová. Za prázdne slovo sa dá chytiť. To však nie je tento prípad.“
