Gravity, Grease, & Soybeans

M.D. Engel

She is a botanist who loves lists and he is a systems engineer who's a mess.

When a series of back to back solar flares slam into the SV Demeter, Margaret's gravity simulator goes haywire, and Cal is assigned the engineering ticket to fix it. He is laid-back where she is uptight. She takes herself too seriuosly, and he doesn't mind when grease is on his forehead.

The forced proximity of Lab B-6 puts them in orbit of each other, and it is more than just gravity pulling them together.

A Sci-fi rom-com with classic tropes, chemistry, and a guaranteed HEA.

About the Author

M.D. Engel

M.D. Engel writes at the intersection of science fiction and romance, leaning into everyday conversational tones, familiar tropes, and flawed but lovable characters. Because let’s be honest, not every book needs to be deep to be enjoyable.

By day, they work at a fast-paced start-up, which makes stress management a must. To stay balanced, M.D. Engel turns to reading, gaming, physical fitness, and now, writing. Their stories pull from real-life experiences and are filled with the humor and heart of everyday moments. At the end of the day, they write for one simple reason: fun.
