Dr. Felix Sterling is a genius in the chemistry lab… and a total disaster everywhere else. Especially when it comes to charming the university’s golden boy, Professor Thorne Carr. Felix is awkward, anxious, and secretly head-over-lab goggles for the man—but confidence isn’t exactly something you can synthesize… or is it?
Desperate to impress, Felix whips up a serum designed to boost his boldness. What he gets is Jax—a dangerously hot, ridiculously smooth alter-ego who turns heads, breaks hearts, and flirts like it’s a sport. Jax doesn’t just talk to Thorne—he seduces him. Fast.
Thorne’s hooked. But the closer Jax gets, the more tangled things become. Because juggling a double life is volatile, and Jax’s ego isn’t just a side effect—it’s a full-blown takeover. Felix is left wondering if Thorne’s falling for him... or the fantasy he created.
Can Felix come clean before the truth detonates? Or is this one experiment destined to blow up in his face?
