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

💗Slow Burn
💗Fake Dating
💗Forced Proximity
💗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.
