Love On The Brain - Ali Hazelwood - Moonbird

Like an avenging purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe Bee Konigswasser 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. Duh. 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 powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school-archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far far away.

Now her equipment is missing the staff is ignoring her and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. 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. And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. 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 Konigswasser do?
