She wasn’t a problem to be solved, but a poem he couldn’t help but adore.
Isabel Brooks, a literature professor with a heart of gold and a never-ending passion for poems.
Asher Ryder, a grumpy mathematician who solves quadratic equations when bored.
She was never meant to end up on the radar of the most intimidating math professor. He’s not the type with soft smiles, and a stubborn belief in happy endings. But when a collaborative project collides them together, they’re both too stubborn to admit their feelings, and they begin to unravel what lies beneath the facade of logic and literature.
And when they do? They fall. For each other.
