Cecilia Golding has long given up trying to be likeable; at this point she'll settle for being respected by the male astronomers she works with. But her abrasive nature and know-it-all attitude have earned her the nickname of Sweetbriar, a beautiful rose with sharp thorns. When her father takes a position as director of Dun Byre Observatory, she is thrilled to have a fresh start as his assistant, until she realizes that the man who stole her work is the owner's stepson.
Carter Ellis has lived in his stepfather’s shadow for most of his life, never quite living up to the exacting standard Lord Lynden expects. He longs to prove his worth as an astronomer, and if he has to take credit for Cecilia’s scientific papers in the process, so be it. But when Carter and Cecilia are forced to work together at Dun Byre, he can't deny his guilt at taking advantage of her work—or his growing attraction to her.
Can they forgive past grievances and learn to work together, or will their fierce arguments ruin both their chances of a career?
