Publisher Description

A brilliant, no-nonsense bioengineer with a sharp tongue meets her match in a brooding, dangerously attractive football star with a dark past and an even darker temper.

Nairne has one goal: save the world with science, not get tangled in messy emotions. After a scandal knocked her off course, she's laser-focused on her research—until Zed walks in. He's a former mafia heir turned world-famous athlete, known for his savage control on the field... and in the bedroom.

Their first meeting is explosive. Their second? Even hotter.

What starts as a no-strings arrangement—purely physical, strictly temporary—quickly ignites into something neither of them can control. The rules were simple: no feelings, no forever. But when passion burns hotter than logic, even the smartest plans fall apart.

And in the heat of their collision, one thing becomes clear: chaos isn't just a theory—it's the start of something unstoppable.
