Heat Wave

The last woman Dennis Long wants to work with is the one who made his childhood miserable.

Too bad she's also the one woman he can't stop thinking about.

Dennis Long has always preferred equations to emotions. As one of the brightest minds at Paradise Space Flight, he's used to solving complex problems. But his latest assignment may be impossible: convince rising aerospace star Angelica Jones to leave Atlanta and join the company's team in Wyoming.

Unfortunately, Angelica isn't just a sought-after scientist.

She's the girl who spent years teasing him when they were kids.

Dennis expects their reunion to be awkward. He doesn't expect the brilliant, confident woman standing before him to completely upend his world.

Angelica Jones has worked too hard to let anyone stand in the way of her dreams. As a groundbreaking aerospace researcher and proud advocate for women of color in STEM, she's finally earning the recognition she's fought for her entire life.

But one regret has never stopped haunting her.

Dennis.

The sweet, intelligent boy she hurt years ago has grown into a thoughtful, irresistible man—and seeing him again makes Angelica realize that some mistakes never truly stay in the past.

As old wounds begin to heal and undeniable chemistry ignites between them, Dennis and Angelica must decide whether forgiveness is worth the risk. Because the future they've always dreamed of may be closer than they think—but only if they're willing to leave the past behind.

Filled with heart, humor, sizzling chemistry, and emotional redemption, Heat Wave is a swoon-worthy STEM romance about second chances, healing old hurts, and discovering that first love sometimes deserves another shot.
