Passion meets purpose in the lab, but can it survive outside?
Peter has always struggled with the opposite sex. His focus has been on unraveling the secrets of cancer’s DNA, immersing himself in research in pursuit of a breakthrough. But when Jane sits next to him at his best friend’s Friendsgiving, she seems like the first woman who can speak his language, and his attention begins to shift.
After the sudden death of her parents, and diagnosis of a lurking rare and life-threatening vascular condition, Jane dug her hands deep into the soil she studies for a living. When she sits next to Peter at Thanksgiving, she discovers someone who shares her affinity for science. But she wonders if he will truly understand her medical condition.
As the relationship deepens, Jane and Peter’s personal desires and insecurities collide. Their relationship comes under scrutiny during a single weekend with Peter’s family, causing the molecular structure of their bond to crack, propelling them both across Europe and deeper into their respective careers.
As they explore their new lives, a theory remains to be proven: can love transcend the boundaries of circumstance and biology?

Never Miss a Book Release
I absolutely could not put this book down.
"Love here isn’t cinematic. It’s quiet, flawed, and a little messy."
"The most relatable book I've read in years. I absolutely loved the main character and the cast of friends."
