Overview

A college STEM student with a secret identity plus a playboy with a big reputation equals an explosion waiting to happen... Adriana ""Ade"" Blankin is doing everything she can to survive her first year as a chemical engineering major-including keeping a very big secret. Her father, once the beloved men's hockey coach at her college, was arrested and fired in disgrace for his role in a high-profile athletic scandal. Now, Ade is determined to fly under the radar, even if it means hiding who she really is. But secrets have a price. Sleepless, anxious, and watching her GPA spiral toward disaster, Ade is desperate for a solution. When she stumbles across a study on oxytocin-the so-called sleep-inducing, anti-anxiety hormone released during sex-she starts to wonder if science might have the answer. If sex can improve her sleep, all she needs is the right guy to make it happen. Enter Dallas Reynolds: campus playboy, dorm-room legend, and the last person someone like Ade should get involved with. But where others see a player, Ade sees a solution. Their chemistry is undeniable, but nothing in Ade's life is ever simple. Her secret identity collides with Dallas's carefully guarded past, revealing shocking truths neither of them saw coming. What began as a clinical solution soon spirals into something far messier, and far more real. Funny, smart, and full of emotional heat, More Than Chemical is a slow-burn new adult romance that explores the cost of secrets, the power of connection, and the complicated formulas of the heart.
