Not in Love is a contemporary STEM workplace romance about Rue Siebert, a biotech engineer whose carefully controlled life and “no feelings, no repeats” dating rule implode when she has a one‑night stand with Eli Killgore, only to discover the next day that he is leading a hostile takeover of the start‑up where she works and that belongs to one of her closest friends. Forced onto opposite sides of a high‑stakes corporate battle over groundbreaking food‑science technology, Rue and Eli agree to keep their intense chemistry confined to a secret, no‑strings affair with an expiration date, even as shared trauma, late‑night lab sessions, and Eli’s steady care chip away at Rue’s emotional walls. The story blends forbidden romance, boardroom maneuvering, and themes of class, food insecurity, and found family, while leaving the resolution of the business fight and their relationship unspoiled.
