Love on the Brain

Love on the Brain follows Bee Königswasser, a sharp, purple-haired neuroscientist who believes in science, Marie Curie, and never depending on love. When she is chosen to co-lead BLINK, a NASA neuroengineering project designed to enhance astronauts’ attention through brain-stimulation helmets, she thinks her career is finally saved.

Then she learns her engineering co-lead is Levi Ward, her silent, intimidating grad-school nemesis. Bee is convinced Levi despises her, but as NASA politics, missing files, and professional sabotage threaten the project, she discovers a very different truth: Levi has never hated her. Their rivalry turns into trust, attraction, and love—but Bee’s fear of loss may be harder to overcome than any scientific failure.
