Jessica Everly doesn't believe in love, especially not after her ex dumped her. On vacation. At a wedding. Ever since then, she's had it with men. She'd much rather focus on her work at the astrophysics lab. Her monthly WineSTEM meeting provides plenty of social interaction, thank you very much. She's perfectly content, no matter what anyone else seems to think... until her evil ex, a fellow astrophysicist, tries to take credit for her work. Now, the fate of her research lies in the hands of the university, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see which one of them has more friends in the department.Micah Gene Lin has been licensed as a PI for over a year, but he makes most of his income from his side hustle as a tarot reader and all-around 'mystic.' Gene doesn't really believe in fate, but hey, it pays the bills. When he gets hired by the head of the local university's astrophysics department to investigate two of its own members, however, he finds himself trapped in the orbit of a serious, jaded, perennially unimpressed astrophysicist who makes him question everything. The trouble is, Jessica has no idea he's involved in her case. He might have lied by omission. He might have broken into her ex's office. As they get closer, the gravity of their situation starts to sink in. Is Gene meant to change Jessica's future? Or is she meant to change his?
