Clara: A genius scientist making a name for herself in a male-dominated field.
Max: A lab tech who just wants a chance to meet the genius herself.
Mother Nature: The lady who always brings the spice to Wildwood Lodge.

Dr. Clara Winslow knows everything about the aurora borealis—except why her new research partner makes her heart spark like charged particles in the night sky.

When Harvard physicist Dr. Max Sullivan arrives at Wildwood Lodge a day early, Clara's perfectly ordered research project starts spinning like a magnetic field gone haywire. He's brilliant, handsome, and worst of all, he actually understands her work.

But falling for a colleague is definitely not in her data set.

Max has been following Clara's groundbreaking aurora research for years, and she's even more fascinating in person than on paper. Too bad she sees him as just another arrogant academic trying to hijack her project.

Now he has to prove that their chemistry isn't just professional—it's elemental.

As they track the mysterious lights above Wildwood Lodge, Clara and Max discover that some forces of attraction can't be explained by science alone. But when their budding romance threatens their research grant, they'll have to choose between professional success and personal connection—or find a way to have both.

Sometimes the best discoveries happen when you let your heart experiment with love.

A passionate, spicy short story that proves even scientists can't resist the laws of attraction!
