   Summary

   Dr R Grace, Curator of Natural History is about to have his big moment. The Natural History galleries at the flagship museum he works for are being refurbished. Finally, his vision is going to come alive. But does he have the confidence to push for his ideas, or will his natural shyness prevent his dream from becoming reality?

   Simon Gardiner is the gruff Assistant Manager of the Display Team. He’s responsible for helping Grace’s vision become reality. He doesn’t have time or bothered for relationships. But he does agree to a blind date… which he cancels. Simon has a past, one he’d rather forget. Will it catch up with him? (Of course it does)

   Will they manage to have a professional working relationship, or will their proximity lead to something more?

   Well, my hobby is writing smut with a story so…

    

   For all of the meddlesome Mary’s and demented Dimitri’s of the museum world.
