Give Me Butterflies

“The STARRY OF MY DREAMS.” —B. K. Borison, USA Today bestselling author

A swoony, slow-burn STEM romance where an anxious, sunshine-y entomologist and a brooding astronomer discover that opposites don’t just attract—they collide.

Millie Calloway has always done things her own way. Her passion for bugs turned into her dream job as an entomology curator, where she spends her days inspiring museum visitors and her nights dreaming of running her own department. When a rare director position opens up, she’s determined to land it—no distractions, no detours. Especially not Finn Rourke, her infuriatingly grumpy coworker with his perpetual scowl, dazzling blue eyes, and questionable collection of astronomy-themed ties.

Finn doesn’t mean to be the office misanthrope. Between his demanding job, his grief over losing his sister, and trying to raise his nieces, smiling just isn’t high on the priority list. The last thing he needs is Millie—bright, chatty, chaotic Millie literally crashing into his orbit.

She bugs him. He’s too starry-eyed for her. They want nothing to do with each other. But with Finn on the interview committee, avoiding each other isn’t an option. And when workplace rivalry turns into lingering glances and late-night confessions under the planetarium lights, Millie starts to wonder if the only thing bigger than her career dreams…is the risk of falling for him.
