Artificial Hearts by Kata Cuic

Dr. Elise Fowler believes in two things—that being a genius is a curse not a gift, and that her EQ is inversely proportional to her IQ. Years of graduate school training in high-level academia have taught her to always test theories, and she has plenty of life experience aka data to back up her hypotheses.

After multiple one-way friendships and a disaster of a romantic relationship, she’s ready to move forward in her professional life as a logical, in-control woman. Sort of. Okay, fine. Not really. The job offer of a lifetime lands in her lap, and her parents refuse to let her be a professional recluse Zoom tutor in her childhood bedroom any longer. All those expensive degrees aren’t going to pay for themselves.
With newfound aka totally fake courage, she takes on the newly created position of lead Artificial Intelligence engineer at the illustrious Chester Biotech. Only to come face-to-face with her archnemesis, Dr. Peter Carrington. Who is unfairly hot and unfairly the youngest director of an R&D branch in the history of for-profit science.
Elise isn’t going to let Peter get the best of her this time. Bonus—her new job entails exposing Peter for the lying cheater that he is. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, and no one is colder and more heartless than Elise. Or so multiple people have informed her.

If her biggest strength is her genius brain, then Elise doesn’t have to worry about her faulty heart getting involved. Not again.
