Tethers, Truth, & Constellations

by

M.D. Engel

She is a botanist who loves recreational EVAs and Pilates. He is a systems engineer who spends his free time in the gym or playing poker.

She is quietly homesick. He is quietly grieving.

When their friends (who are dating) decide the besties need to meet, Stacy and Joe’s forced proximity turns into an easy friendship that deepens with every group lunch and game night.

Then, one sleepless night on the SV Demeter, they find themselves in The Cosmic Amphitheater. Drawn together under the red, ethereal light. The quiet pull between them begins to change everything.

A sci-fi rom-com with friendship, found family, slow-burn 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.
