Give Me Butterflies

by Jillian Meadows (2024)

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. Equal parts nerdy banter and fiery tension, it's perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Tessa Bailey. Now with exclusive bonus content! Millie was never one to take the expected path. She's an entomologist who loves her job as a natural science curator, inspiring museum visitors every day. It's her dream to take a larger role in the planning of her department, so when a director position opens, she is determined not to let anything distract her from her goals. Especially Finn, her grumpy coworker with his permanent scowl, electric blue eyes, and nerdy astronomy ties. . . . Not that she's spent much 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 anything 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.
