Repulsion is the surest test of magnetism...

Physicists Dr Erin Monaghan and Dr Ethan Meyer are bitter rivals. Each at the forefront of their opposing fields and competing for everything: grant money, lab time, government backing. But fate has lined up a meet-cute on the pages of sci-fi magazine Galactica. Erin''s short story and Ethan''s illustration are paired for publication, and when they meet online as their alter egos, sparks fly.

Will the course of true love for once run smooth when Erin and Ethan are forced to collaborate on a government contract? Or will their rivalry prevent them from realizing the truth about their feelings in the material as well as the virtual world?
