Chemical Reaction: Nerds of Paradise, #6

Calliope Clutterbuck has always been the life of the party, a veritable friend-magnet. Except for that time in eighth grade when her former bestie, Kathy Standish, stole her boyfriend at the Templesmith's pool party. But that's all water under the bridge, right? She's and adult now and approaches life rationally and maturely.

Except that her sister and her close friends are all now in relationships, leaving her the perpetual third wheel.

And guess who just moved back to town? Yep, Kathy.

Jonathan Cross has had his eye on Calliope almost from the moment he moved to Haskell to work for Paradise Space Flight. But his joband his position as Howie's go-to event organizerhas kept him too busy to do anything about it. Until he is able to literally rescue Calliope and sweep her off her feet.

So they finally get together and date happily ever after, right?
