Rival Chemistry

Melanie Burke has one goal: teach chemistry, leave her controlling elitist family behind, and prove she is more than the former it-girl they raised.

Newbury Academy names her one of two finalists for the job, which means she has to share a classroom with Jackson Cooper, a rival who argues with her over every lesson plan.

Harmless mix-ups spiral until the two of them are running a full prank war in front of their students.

In the middle of the chaos, irritation turns into a pull neither of them can shut down, no matter how hard they try.

With the semester almost over, Melanie has to sort out her tangled ties to independence and privilege before the job she wants most is gone for good.
