Science museum rivals, competing ambitions, and an unexpected connection

At a science museum, entomologist Millie is pursuing a director role while her astronomer colleague Finn sits on the interview committee—making it difficult for either to keep their attention strictly on work. Their friction is shaped by more than clashing temperaments: Finn is carrying grief and family responsibilities, while Millie is focused on a career goal she has long wanted. The romance brings together two STEM professionals whose expertise ranges from insects to astronomy, with the museum setting and Finn’s efforts to connect with his nieces adding a family thread to the workplace story.

  • Romance readers interested in workplace attraction and an interview-committee complication.
  • Readers who enjoy stories featuring STEM professionals and a science museum setting.

Book overview

"THE OPPOSITES ATTRACT LOVE STORY OF MY DREAMS." --B. K. Borison, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"FANS OF ALI HAZELWOOD WILL CHEER." --Grace Reilly, USA Today bestselling author

A swoony, steamy, STEM romance in which two curators at a science museum--a handsome but grumpy astronomer and an anxious but sunshine-y entomologist--realize they are the perfect match. Now with exclusive bonus content!

Millie has never taken the expected path. Her childhood love for bugs and science led her to entomology, and her role as a curator, inspiring museum visitors every day. It's her dream to run her own department--so when a rare director position opens, she is determined nothing will distract her from her goal. Especially not Finn, her grumpy coworker with his permanent scowl, electric blue eyes, and endless supply of astronomy ties.

. . . Not that she's spent time noticing any of those things.

Finn doesn't mean to glare at everyone, but he's juggling his role at the museum, navigating the grief of losing his sister, attempting to make his nieces smile, and trying not to ruin dinner for the fifth night in a row. He can't afford to let anything slip, and certainly doesn't need more to deal with--especially not Millie literally stumbling into him, with her bright smile and sunny optimism.

He bugs her. She's too starry-eyed for him. They want nothing to do with each other. But with Finn on the interview committee, avoidance is impossible. And Millie soon realizes it's one thing when a job is on the line. It's quite another when it's her heart.

Give Me Butterflies is a sweet and sexy STEM romance, featuring:

 

  • Grumpy x Sunshine
  • Heroine in STEM
  • Slow burn
  • Open door spice
  • Found family
  • Nerdy banter
