Love on the Brain

Description

By Ali Hazelwood

From the author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis — with explosive results.

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: what would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project — a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia — Marie would accept without hesitation. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.

Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark and piercing-eyes kind of way, and sure, he caught her in his arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damselled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings towards Bee very clear in graduate school: archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies, far, far away.

Now her equipment is missing, the staff are ignoring her, and Bee’s floundering career is in something of a pickle. Perhaps it is her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally — backing her plays, seconding her ideas. And when it comes time to put her heart on the line, there is only one question that matters: what will Bee Königswasser do?
