Anthea just wants to get out of the biological station's staff meeting so she can get back to her job managing a research lab.
When Brad, the new stone-fruit professor, shows up, everyone there, even Anthea, starts drooling over him.
He's phenomenally handsome in a Greek-god kind of way.
She knows that the culture of the stationlab managers and other "civilians" never mix with the profs and studentsmeans there's no way he'd ever even see Anthea.
But Brad walks into a completely trashed lab, with contaminated samples, moldy pizza, and empty beer bottles among glassware and microscopes.
It'll take weeks for him to clean up on his own. An absolute disaster.
Anthea just happens to notice his panic and overwhelm. Maybe her particular brand of organization and problem-solving can save the day.
And, even better, give them the excuse to spend some time together.
