Logic governs science. Chaos governs love.<\/i><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Crystal lives by the equation. As a dedicated researcher, she has spent years perfecting a life that excludes the messy variables of intimacy and family drama. After a string of disastrous relationships, she\u2019s locked her heart behind a laboratory door, convinced she is finally safe.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Then she meets Adam Fairfax.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The chemistry is instantaneous, volatile, and entirely off-limits. As her lab manager, Adam is the one person who oversees her every move\u2014and the only one who can dismantle her carefully constructed world with a single look. Crystal tells herself she can handle the heat of a professional attraction.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

She is wrong.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

As the magnetism between them crosses a dangerous line, a corporate conspiracy begins to tighten around their department. With a shadow war brewing in the halls of Aludel Pharma, Crystal must decide which of her own rules she is willing to sacrifice. In the heat of the moment, she is about to learn that some reactions
can\u2019t be contained\u2014and her life is in the crucible.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>
