Kissing Galileo
Emily Von, an applied mathematics major, works part-time as a lingerie model to make ends meet — and one day her freakishly smart, wickedly sarcastic Research Methods professor, Dr. Victor Hanover, walks in and sees her mostly naked. Awkwardness is guaranteed, but instead of avoiding each other, they become friends. As their friendship deepens, the line between mentor and something more starts to blur. The second book in Penny Reid's Dear Professor series, readable as a standalone.
