He’s a genius who lives by the numbers. She’s the neon-colored chaos that’s about to break his every rule. Julian I am a man of science. I believe in data, soil samples, and the comfort of a predictable life. As an Iron Legend, I keep the ranch running with clinical precision. My world is black and white, and that’s exactly how I like it. Until Skye screams onto my land in a van splattered with paint and glitter. She’s messy. She’s loud. She’s a walking disaster zone who thinks "logic" is a four-letter word. She was hired to paint a mural on our silo, but all she’s doing is contaminating my lab and raising my pulse to dangerous levels. I should send her away. I should protect my peace. Instead, I’m obsessing over the blue paint on her skin and the way she looks in my bed. Skye I’ve been told I’m "too much" my entire life. I’m a traveling artist with no roots and no regrets—until I met the stiff, brooding Professor. Julian is buttoned-up, arrogant, and looks at me like I’m a lab experiment gone wrong. He thinks he can organize my chaos. He thinks he can calculate the distance between us. But when the "Scholar" finally loses his cool, he doesn't just get his hands dirty. He turns into a possessive beast who refuses to let me go. Now, I have to choose: the open road, or the man who built me a cathedral just so I’d stay. When a cold-blooded scientist meets a girl made of fire, the explosion is inevitable.
