Girl Gone Nova by Pauline Baird Jones

Project Enterprise 2

Sponsored

A snarky, time-twisting sci-fi romance full of sass, sparks, and space drama.

Awards? Oh yeah—this one’s a winner. Literally.

Delilah Oliver Clementyne—“Doc” to the unlucky few who know better than to cross her—is the covert genius you call when the mission is insane, the odds are impossible, and the galaxy’s at stake. This time? She’s flung into another galaxy to unravel a mess of time travelers, war-hungry aliens, and—oh yeah—a certain irritating galactic leader who makes her want to punch things. (And maybe kiss them. Which is worse.)

Helfron Giddioni is feared, famous, and exactly the kind of trouble Doc avoids. Until he starts not avoiding her. When the galaxy edges toward all-out war, the two of them must work together to save the past, fix the present, and avoid a future where hearts get broken—and universes explode.

She’s the galaxy’s most dangerous woman. He’s the man half the stars love to hate.
Time’s ticking. Sparks are flying. And love? Totally not part of the plan.

If you like clever banter, explosive action, slow-burn snark, and a love story that could bend space and time (literally), dive into this award-winning adventure in the Project Enterprise universe!
