Although Emma Clark has every reason to celebrate, she fights the tears forming in her eyes, as it’s another last time in her senior year.

She hates lasts. With a passion.

Her final year in high school seems to be flying by, and she’s not ready for it to end.

But what if tonight doesn’t have to be about another ending to something?

Trey Freddrick has a thing for sexy nerds in lab coats, and he’s determined to help one in particular remember this night for being the start of something rather than an ending.

When he finds her in the science lab, their desire for each other combusts, igniting their feelings and sparking new memories.



The Science Lab is an 8k-word spicy romance. It is the second book in the Summit Liberty When Everyone Says Goodbye, They Say Hello four-part short spicy romance series that follows two people, Emma Clark and Trey Freddrick, as they navigate their final moments as seniors in high school.

While this was a short story this gripped me in and I couldn’t stop reading it. This short story has the spice for sure! I will have to also read the first book of this story and the rest of the series as well.

This is the 2nd book in the Summit Liberty High series. Another steamy short story starring Emma and Trey, and all about experiencing their first lasts.
