Something Gained - Something Series, #1

Ava ~With $500, 000 on the line, I refuse to lose the America's Next Top Chemist 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 I could until my leading competitor-the 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?
