Quantum Love — Liza O'Connor

After a rough start in life, Kathleen Tyler has become one of the most promising Quantum Physicists in the world. Yet, her love life has tangled with her work and it's making her life hell. Thus, she accepts a tenured position at a Montana college which has promised her a world class laboratory to continue her research. When she arrives, she finds no lab, only two quantum physics students, and people she can't understand at all. While she's tempted to run back to her prior life on several occasions, it's only when a concerted effort is made to remove her from Montana that she realizes how much she wants to stay, and how many people she loves.
