What happens when two overthinking, super compatible nerds meet at exactly the wrong time?

đź’—Slow Burn
đź’—Fake Dating
đź’—Forced Proximity
đź’—Workplace Romance

When my fiancé dumps me 29 days before I'm supposed to move across the country to join him (in an apartment I've already contributed rent to) I am... shocked. Horrified. A tad worried about my impending homelessness.

Since I'm not about to back out of a MIT postdoc over a guy, I… move. So what if my bank account’s a dumpster fire and I don't know anyone else in the city?

Then, minutes before my housewarming, my downstairs neighbor –Professor Lars Berg-Anderson, the notoriously antisocial Ice Man of MIT– informs me Ethan's bringing his new, pregnant girlfriend.

In an absolute panic, I impulsively suggest Lars kiss me. Lars is… hot. Ethan hates him. Everyone will believe I'm the one who traded up.

From there, the ill-conceived, not-planned fake-dating just... happens. Yes, Lars is objectively attractive and we are stupidly compatible. But, I just got out of an engagement and Lars believes relationships have an “unfavorable benefit to effort ratio”. Thus, there's no way our for-show, utterly fake, rebound relationship can last… right?

The Statistically Unlikely Rebound is a nerdy, slow burn, spicy, standalone workplace romance. HEA guaranteed.

Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Tropes: Slow burn, forced proximity, spicy, second-chance romance, friends to lovers, competent heroine.
