Product Description
by Danielle Tempesta (Author)
Veronica Sterling is a dedicated botanist working in a natural history museum as an assistant collections manager. A reserved postdoc fellow, Artie Ribeiro, joins the museum in the anthropology division, botany's unsaid rival. The division of anthropology is the department that gets all the funding since they have the largest and flashiest artifacts. Botany's collection is full of dried plants on paper, stuffed in drawers, but Veronica loves it nonetheless.
With weekly happy hours and a research conference, the pair learn that they share a connection more than they would have thought. But they don't always see eye to eye.
Veronica cherishes the permanence of scientific preservation, while Artie champions the beauty of transience, challenging her to see the world through his eyes. Can their budding romance withstand the weight of conflicting ideals?
Caught between loyalty to her beloved museum and the allure of a new love, Veronica must navigate the tangled vines of her heart. Will she embrace Artie's vision of fleeting beauty, or remain steadfast in her dedication to botanical legacy? In a story where love and science intertwine, only time will tell if Veronica and Artie's romance can bloom amidst the challenges of museum missions and personal convictions.
