What’s a little secret when the chemistry is off the charts?
Everyone has a dream. Mine is to make perfume, where the science of aroma converges with the art of experience.
To fund my new business, I join a paid drug trial that’s for her pleasure, if you know what I mean. I figure the risks are worth it, but the one variable I didn’t factor in is biochemist Dr. Bradley Zimmer.
After taking my first dose, I literally run into the man of my dreams, a hot geek, who catches me. His disastrous style can’t hide the kindness behind his glasses, and he’s irresistibly appealing. But I’m running late, so I don’t get his name.
When our paths cross again, it’s like magic between me and the gorgeous geek aka Bradley. Despite our age gap, every touch between us is electric. I’ve never felt like this. Is it real or is this the trial’s little blue pill for v@ginas?
But after I learn dating Bradley is off-limits as a trial participant, I have to decide: perfume or my hotty scientist. I want both, so when he mistakenly assumes why I’m at his pharmaceutical company, I don’t correct him.
What’s a little secret when the chemistry is off the charts?
But, like any explosive reaction, the truth invariably comes out… Can we survive the unexpected results of this love equation?
Sex, science, scents, and secrets—a formula designed to either ignite passion or combust spectacularly.
Emi Leon lives in Washington state and writes steamy rom-coms. She believes love and laughter go hand-in-hand. Nerdy and grumpy heroes are her favorites. The fact she married one has nothing to do with it. She’s a STEM girl turned romance writer, who hangs out in coffee shops reading. Just look for the woman in smart girl glasses and ponytail with a steaming beverage in front of her, who may blush when she gets to the good parts (i.e. sexy times.) She thinks everyone needs a happily ever afters. And a dog. Oh, a cat, too!

He wanted revenge but found her instead.
Revenge is finally within reach when the man I ache to ruin offers his daughter for marriage. A woman who stands for everything I despise but, in a strange twist of fate, turns out to be nothing like the ugly rumors surrounding her.
Her warm smile and kind heart chip at the walls I so dutifully erected around my heart. And as they crumble to the ground piece by miserable piece, secrets from our pasts emerge and threaten to destroy us.
The right thing would be to walk away, to let go of my need for revenge. But I can’t. I won’t.
Even if it means destroying her–destroying us–in the end.
