So for once in her unlucky life, luck was on her side… until she almost blew up the lab. Unfortunately, singed eyebrows were the least of her concern.

Kind words, gorgeous eyes, and wicked grins were always her weakness.Fact 678 - The line between loathe and love easily blurred.It was just one kiss… maybe two.
