Juniper Smoke

In taking care of her mom and autistic twin, Juniper’s life has been one big sacrifice for others. As a curator at the History Museum of Ann Arbor, her life is: Work. Home. Repeat. Raised by her mother to hate men, she worries she’ll die a frigid scholar…until she meets the museum board’s new president.

Kyle Paxton is an intense robotic inventor of micro-cameras who lives in a house on a cliff, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. To curb the dark memories of his ex-girlfriend who haunts him, he schedules dating and work with mechanical precision. Until, he meets Juniper and she knocks his world off its axis in this very unfairy tale.
