The Catalyst Effect

Valerie Easton is the girl everyone warns you about. The queen of rebellion, she skips classes, breaks rules, and never lets anyone tell her what to do. With a past that's left her hardened and a reputation that keeps everyone at arm's length, she's untouchable-until she meets Mr. Oliver Gray, her new physics teacher.
Oliver Gray is young, brilliant, and completely off-limits. With a passion for science and a no-nonsense attitude, he's determined to whip his chaotic senior class into shape. But Valerie Easton is his biggest challenge yet. She's reckless, defiant, and absolutely uninterested in anything he has to say-until an unexpected turn of events forces them into each other's orbits in ways neither of them anticipated.
As tension builds and lines blur, Valerie begins to change-not for him, but because of him. And Oliver? He's fighting a battle between what's right and what his heart wants. But just when they think they've figured out where they stand, a devastating revelation threatens to tear them apart forever.
Will they defy the odds, or will fate make the choice for them?
