Calculated Love

Dr. Seraphina Jacobs, a fiercely independent department chair and intersectional feminist, is stretched to her limits. Between the demands of her career, caring for her terminally ill father, and enduring a hostile work environment with an unsupportive boss and colleagues determined to sabotage her leadership, she has little energy left for herself. 

Conservative tech billionaire Gabriel Fauntleroy is her opposite—a man known for his measured approach to business and his groundbreaking work in sensory technology. At the request of Seraphina’s boss and members of the university’s Black alumni board, Gabriel joins her department’s advisory board, tasked with the hidden mission of toning down her outspoken ‘wokeness’ and reining in her progressive influence across social media.

When his company’s latest product detects an unusual compatibility between them, Gabriel’s curiosity turns into an obsession. Armed with insider knowledge of the compatibility findings, Gabriel plans a one-night stand with Seraphina to test the data his technology has uncovered. Seraphina, unaware of his hidden motives and the results driving his interest, is drawn in, agreeing to a night of passion with the enigmatic billionaire. 

As Gabriel questions the limits of science and Seraphina wrestles with emotions that defy her values, can they both break through the walls of secrecy and conviction to embrace the unknown—or will their differences keep them apart?
