The Chemistry of UsNeva Bylur has spent years perfecting the art of disappearing. A chameleon of necessity, she's lived a thousand lives, each one a carefully constructed façade shielding her from the dangers lurking just out of sight. But her latest identity-a soft-spoken kindergarten teacher in a quiet corner of the city-is slipping. The past has caught her scent. And this time, it isn't letting go.Rome Whitlock doesn't do loose ends. A former Navy SEAL turned security specialist, his world is built on control, precision, and the simple rule that if something is broken, you fix it-or destroy it before it can destroy you. So when a woman with too many secrets stumbles into his path, he knows better than to get involved. But walking away isn't an option.What starts as a game of strategy and survival soon spirals into something neither of them expected. Their chemistry is a volatile thing-deadly, intoxicating, impossible to ignore. But in a world where trust is a currency Neva can't afford, and Rome's past is tangled in shadows darker than he lets on, the greatest danger isn't the enemies hunting them.It's what they might do to each other.Darkly seductive and razor-sharp, The Chemistry of Us is a story of deception, obsession, and the fine line between survival and surrender.
