About this ebook

You can’t write a scientific formula for attraction—but when the right elements come together, it can create something wonderful . . .
 
Six months after a painful breakup from her pushy ex, Gordon, PhD hopeful Beth is finally getting her life back on track. She’s hard at work trying to prove her scientific theories are correct, no matter how unusual they may be. And she’s even beginning to see her loyal lab partner, Hibs, as more than just a lothario in a lab coat.
 
Hibs always held a candle for Beth, but never thought she felt anything for him until they decided to get a few drinks to unwind—and ended up examining each other in a very un-scientific manner. It seems they might just complement each other outside of the lab as well.
 
But when Gordon storms back into town, will Beth be able to see beyond his shallow charms and realize that her true love is the man who stands by her side every day?

About the author

Rhoda Baxter writes contemporary romantic comedies. As her father’s engineering skills were in international demand, Rhoda’s childhood was split between the UK, the Pacific island of Yap, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka. Baxter studied at the University of Oxford and holds a DPhil in microbiology. When choosing a pen name, she got nostalgic about the bacteria she used to study, (Rhodobacter species) and named herself Rhoda Baxter after them. Now her day job involves protecting and commercializing intellectual property generated by university research. This allows her to stay in touch with cutting edge scientific research without having to spend long hours in the lab. Rhoda is married and has two children. They live together in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
