Milo Ashby Needs A Bad Boy
Could a bad boy be the answer to an anxious astrophysicist’s biggest problem?
When the infamously unruly Elio von Hessen joins Manhattan’s prestigious Starlight Institute, England exhales—but Milo Ashby braces for impact. Impetuous. Reckless. Unstable? Connected by marriage, Milo kept his distance and avoided Elio’s chaos at family gatherings.
But after being overlooked and pushed aside one time too many, Milo makes an impulsive request of Elio: teach me how to be bad.
Elio’s known for trouble, but he came to Starlight for one reason—Milo. Beneath his brash swagger, Elio sees a kindred spirit: dedicated, driven, and underestimated.
What neither of these geniuses can predict is the irresistible bond and undeniable attraction. Despite their intellectual intentions, they’re helpless to stop the momentum of a force more powerful than gravity: love.
Will Elio continue to push the boundaries of quantum physics and society, or will he discover that being Milo Ashby’s bad boy is all he needs?
