The Oddly Elusive Brunette 

When a general’s alluring daughter mysteriously vanishes from a particle accelerator experiment gone awry and appears in physicist Robert Mitchell’s frigid lab, he rallies the scientific community in an effort to rescue her from ping-ponging around the world. But winning Elaine’s heart proves more difficult than understanding the physics as rivals compete for her affections during her chaotic quantum leaps from one research facility to the next.
