Strictly a Plus One: The Way to a Woman’s Heart Romantic Comedy
This book was previously published as One Cup of Chemistry by Sheri Tyler (c) 2025
Two cancer researchers. One weekend at a tropical wedding.
Zero intention of falling in love.
Dr. Courtney Gillette is blazing a trail in cutting-edge oncology, and she’s not about to let a weekend in paradise slow her momentum. Grayson, once at the forefront of medical research, is struggling to find his next move after AI rendered his work obsolete. Neither of them came to this wedding looking for connection—just to play their roles as maid of honor and best man, smile for photos, and go home.
But forced proximity, shared history, and one too many charged silences start to blur the lines. The more they’re thrown together, the harder it is to pretend the chemistry isn’t real. And when a message from Courtney’s estranged father pushes her to meet a half-sister she never knew, just as she begins to suspect her research is being stolen, she finds herself relying on Grayson more than she ever planned.
It was supposed to be strictly professional. Strictly temporary. Strictly a plus one.
