   Summary

   Nora is in the final semester of her graduate degree in neuroscience, scrambling to save her research from looming budget cuts. When her friend Gabby convinces her to enter a beauty pageant with a major scholarship prize, Nora reluctantly swaps her lab coat for lipstick. Navigating the world of glamor is one thing but falling for the pageant's hot-shot donor is another. But when motives are questioned and hearts are on the line, will their connection survive the spotlight?
