Still, we’ve long outgrown our Parent Trap stage, and at twenty-eight no one would struggle to tell us apart. We have the same symmetrical features and blue eyes, the same straight dark hair. Yes, Reike and I are both short and slight. “You only say so because I look exactly like you.” He never did, at least not in those terms, but I laugh so loud, Finneas gives me a startled glance. Isn’t The Wardass the guy who said that you were fugly?” Bee, thank you for waking me up to share this outstanding piece of news. “You know, you could at least pretend not to enjoy this so much.” I listen to my sister’s maniacal, gleeful cackling while I toss the empty can. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there’s only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do? And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. Perhaps it’s 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…devouring her with those eyes. Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school-archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. 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.
From the New York Times bestselling 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.
