She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

**BOOK ONE IN THE LOVE & CHEMISTRY SERIES** Things happen quickly, but one thing is for sure, you can't force chemistry to exist where it doesn't, in the same way you can't deny it when it does. They are both starting their second year of college at the local university, and like it or not, they will be getting to know each other this year. They are Chemistry Partners. Started: 8/12/16 Completed: 4/12/17 Edited and Re-Released Start: 4/16/23 Highest ranking: #1 in Chicklit 5/2/2017 AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! ❤️HOLY CRAP YALL!!! I AM SO THANKFUL!!!! ❤️ I am rewriting this story with edits and a little more sensible plot line and will be releasing the chapters one by one as I edit them. I have had a few readers ask when they could read it again and I still can't even fathom the love this story has received here on Wattpad. I planned on releasing it on Amazon, but have decided against it because I want to keep it where its roots are. Thank you to everyone who's giving Lacey and Axel a chance and I really hope you love the updated version*. *While I am rewriting this story I want to make it known the general plot will stay the same, just with a much better writing style (in my opinion haha)
