Give Me Butterflies - A Novel

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

"THE OPPOSITES ATTRACT LOVE STORY OF MY DREAMS." -B. K. Borison, 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.
