""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.

        Starred review from October 7, 2024
        Meadows (Wreck My Plans) wows with a contemporary that’s funny, sexy, sweet, and deliciously nerdy all at the same time. Entomologist Millie Oaks is up for a major promotion at the Wilhelmina Natural Science Museum. She did well in her first interview, despite getting rattled by the grumpy (and gorgeous) director of astronomy, Dr. Finn Ashford. Now she just needs to focus on the next round of interviews without getting too distracted by Finn, who, she learns, only comes off as icy because of the stress of juggling his job and his young twin nieces, Avery and Eloise, whom he is raising following the recent death of his sister. Millie is immediately charmed by the girls during museum camp and, as she and their uncle grow closer, it isn’t long before Millie willingly immerses herself in Ashford family life. This sweet found family is a relief from the abusive relationship she escaped only months before. Millie’s friends, her family’s group chat, and her adorable dog also provide plenty of heartwarming moments that help balance out serious explorations of grief and emotional abuse. Fans of Ali Hazelwood’s STEMinist series should snap this up. Agent: Lauren Spieller, Folio Literary.
