Nerds of Paradise, #4

Mild-mannered nerd, Dennis Long, is on a mission. He has been sent to Atlanta to woo doctoral student, Angelica Jones, to join the team at Paradise Space Flight in Haskell, Wyoming. But where most people see Angelica as a brilliant scientist with a promising career ahead of her, all Dennis sees is the neighborhood girl who teased him as a kid. He may be the only person in the world who doesn’t want her.

Or so he thinks…

Angelica has loved all of the attention lavished on her by the aerospace industry, and is proud to represent African-American women in the sciences. But the one thing she isn’t proud of is the way she tormented Dennis as a kid. Now the nerdy boy she once knew is all grown up and then some! And Angelica finds herself caught between the need to make amends for the past and the desire to go after the future she has been working her whole life for.

But is love a part of that future?

Forgiveness might just be the hottest commodity in Atlanta.
