When everything depends on a test, love will bring in the crucial points. Quirion has been a proud hoarder of books his entire long life. When he got not-so-subtly bullied into accepting an assistant four years ago—it was his own decision, yes, and the pleading looks from his brother-in-law had nothing to do with it, damn him and his cuteness—he'd thought it would be a martyrdom he just had to endure. Now, four years later, his library seems lonely on the days Milo isn't there. Grudgingly Quirion has come to the realization that he wants Milo to be more than just a friend and employee. The only question is how to proceed. Milo has been Quirion's assistant for four years, relying on the demon's help to navigate the more difficult aspects of college life. For almost as long, he has known that, to him, Quirion is the perfect man. But the demon is so much older and wiser than him—Milo doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell to ever get him. And when funding for his research is taken from him unexpectedly, he needs Quirion to help him once again with a test that can make or break his career. Can these two scientists find a way into each other's arms or are they doomed to study alone?
