Take A Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

After a steamy one-night stand, a fiercely independent PhD candidate and the charming head of campus security agree to a fake-relationship to fend off nosy questions, but their pretend romance quickly forces both of them to confront past hurts, career pressures, and trust issues. Sharp, funny banter and palpable chemistry give way to emotional vulnerability as they learn to communicate, set boundaries, and decide what they truly want from each other.
