Dr. Jane Darlington has a problem. She's a genius physicist whose biological clock is ticking, and she wants a baby with average intelligence. Her solution seems perfect: seduce Cal Bonner, a gorgeous Chicago Stars quarterback she assumes is all brawn and no brains. Jane figures his DNA will balance out her genius genes, giving her child a normal life. But Cal is much smarter than Jane bargained for, and when her one night plan backfires spectacularly, she finds herself married to the last man she wanted as a permanent partner. Now Jane must navigate life with a husband who's not only intellectually her match but also determined to prove that their accidental marriage could become something real. As these two stubborn, brilliant people clash over everything from career priorities to family planning, they discover that love doesn't follow any scientific formula.
