Dancing in the Dark — Jennifer Greene

ANIMAL ATTRACTION

Sensible anthropology professor Susan Markham firmly believed that it was impossible for romantic love to last. Then she met Stix Sperling, heart stopping owner of the sexiest grin in town. To her dismay, Stix began stating that he not only believed in forevers, he'd found his eternal mate in Susan.

Susan tried telling herself that Stix was no more than a passing fancy, but she also had to ignore all the telltale symptoms of love: damp palms, pounding heart and loss of appetite. Her mind said these were merely "temporary biologically based chemical reactions" -- but her heart was beginning to say something else entirely!
