Riley Harper has spent her career studying how relationships work. Leo Torres has spent his career explaining complicated science to people who would rather not need a glossary. Put them behind the same microphones, and the chemistry is immediate.
Professionally, at least.
When Riley's research-based relationship podcast gets the chance to reach a much larger audience, Leo seems like exactly the wrong person to help her do it. He improvises. She prepares. He reads the room. She reads the data. And his irritating habit of asking what people actually do with all that research keeps making her carefully constructed explanations better.
Working together should be simple. Instead, Riley begins collecting evidence she would prefer not to examine too closely.
Leo notices things too. Especially Riley.
As their professional partnership becomes increasingly personal, attraction is only part of the problem. Riley and Leo must navigate questions neither science nor instinct can answer for them: how to trust someone without surrendering independence, how to build something together without making either person smaller, and what to do when the evidence no longer fits the model.
The Chemistry Between Us is a smart, funny, slow-burn STEM romantic comedy about two people who discover that understanding why something happens isn't the same as knowing what it means.
For readers who enjoy: slow-burn romance, workplace chemistry, STEM characters, neurodivergent representation, and closed-door romance.
