2022 NATIONAL EXCELLENCE IN ROMANCE FICTION AWARD FINALIST An unlikely pair find love beneath the stars in this sweet Regency tale. AN ASTRONOMER OF HUMBLE ORIGINS In a discipline dominated by titled noblemen, Harry Corbyn has fought to get where he is. And where he wants to be next is Egypt, to lead an expedition to measure the size of the solar system. Distraction in the form of a childhood friend—his mentor's daughter, no less—is not part of the plan. A NOBLEMAN'S DAUGHTER Artist Celeste St. James knows she’s meant for more than needlepoint and high society. With dreams of exhibiting at Paris’s prestigious Académie, she doesn’t need distractions, but she can't seem to help her fascination with her father's protégé. AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK When Harry and Celeste join forces to help her father build an ambitious telescope, their powerful connection draws them deeper into each other’s orbit. But when sabotage and her father's shocking revelation threaten their dreams, will Harry and Celeste find their way to love? Each book in the Something Wonderful series stands alone, but most readers prefer to enjoy the series in order. " HIGHLY RECOMMEND" - Book Sirens "Made me laugh, smile, and occasionally grab for a tissue... The series is called 'Something Wonderful' and this book certainly fits that name on many levels." - Rhyme Schemes and Daydreams "Good character development and an engaging plot." - Book Sirens "An absolutely scrumptious read!" - Goodreads Thanks for checking out  The Astronomer's Obsession ! This was such a fun story to write, blending history, astronomy and two perfectly matched souls. If you love friends-to-lovers tales and the romance of the stars, I think you'll enjoy Harry and Celeste's story. Here are a couple of quotes from the book:   This, as a meteor shower rains down on Harry and Celeste: She turned to him, and her heartbeat quickened when she saw he watched her. His eyes shifted from soft grey to fierce, molten silver. It was  hot and intense, and comforting all at once , because it was Harry. - Harry's theory on mutual attraction: "Some stars orbit in pairs , united by their mutual gravitation... Perhaps it's the same with people."   The Astronomer's Obsession  sets the tone for the Something Wonderful series: sweet and fierce! Happy reading! K.
