As far as Kent Wright was concerned, Becca Lewis was just fine the way she was.

A little mousy, maybe, but a sweet friend and a darn good chemist. So why did she have to go and wreck it all by having a makeover? Now she looked like some sexy siren out of a lingerie catalog, and when it came to chemistry… there was only one kind on Kent's mind!

Turning thirty had sparked an appetite for adventure, and Becca was done hiding beneath baggy lab coats and backward baseball caps. Why couldn't she stick to analyzing viruses instead of dangling from parachutes over Lake Tahoe? Now fellow chemist Dennis is practically tripping over his stool to ask her out, and Kent finds himself playing watchdog to keep her safe.

Trailing his favorite chemist only lands him in the emergency room with a sprained ankle. Did she really have to make staying just friends completely impossible? His vow to keep things professional is crumbling fast.

  • Friends to Lovers: Becca sets out to conquer a wild bucket list that includes raw sushi and indoor climbing walls, only to discover her biggest adventure is falling for her best friend.
  • Office Romance: Working late together on virus research is hard enough without stolen kisses and unexpected static electricity crackling across the lab counters.
  • Heroine Makeover: A salon overhaul courtesy of her sister Summer trades Becca’s tomboy wardrobe for honey-gold hair, stylish dresses, and a secret collection of lace lingerie.
  • Small Town Setting: Living in Incline Village means gossip travels instantly, especially after Becca’s sharp-tongued landlord Mrs. Fritzle mistakes Kent for a burglar.
  • Also by This Author: The Family You Make, Lost and Found Sisters and Sweet Little Lies.
