Experimental Affection
A MX STEM Novella
Dr. Asher Pierce believes in science, not fate. So when a reckless one-night stand with a charming stranger leaves them breathless, they chalk it up to chemistry—purely biological, nothing more, especially when he never calls them. But when they walk into work three months later, they come face-to-face with their new colleague… Dr. Lucas Hastings.
As a new professor at a prestigious university, Ash can’t afford distractions—especially not in the form of their brilliant and infuriatingly attractive co-researcher. Workplace relationships are strictly forbidden, and with reputations on the line, is love worth the risk?
But denying their connection proves harder than Ash anticipated. When late nights at the lab turn into lingering touches and stolen glances, Ash and Luke must decide: resist the pull and lose something rare… or break the rules and watch everything they’ve worked for explode.
