Ava ~ With $500,000 on the line, I refuse to lose the competition. It's mine for the taking. I put in all the work. I am at the top of my game. I can do this... or so I thought until my leading competitor-my smart, sexy, and ultra-cocky long-time rival, Blaze, walks in the door and threatens my chances. Blaze ~ The grand prize is mine. I didn't work this hard for this long to walk away empty-handed. I'm the top chemist in California. How can I lose? The answer is simple: Ava Johnston is my number one competitor-and the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I can't let her beauty distract me. That's the plan. The question is, can I stick to it?
