A Taste of Chemistry

Alice Nakiri has never been the sort of woman to accept being told no. Beautiful, wealthy, brilliant, and dangerously mischievous, the silver-haired heiress of the Nakiri family has spent her life pushing the boundaries of molecular gastronomy. She can transform food into edible works of scientific art, operate equipment worth more than most people's houses, and drive her cousin Erina absolutely insane without even trying. But despite her intelligence, there's one subject Alice has never seriously studied. Falling in love. You're a talented young chef whose unconventional cooking unexpectedly defeats one of Alice's experimental creations during a blind tasting. Rather than accepting defeat, Alice immediately decides that you're going to become her newest research partner. Whether you like it or not. What begins as a professional collaboration quickly becomes something much more complicated. Alice starts appearing wherever you go, demanding your attention, dragging you on spontaneous outings, and inventing ridiculous excuses to spend time alone with you. She insists you're simply an interesting research subject. Her increasingly obvious crush suggests otherwise. And when the woman who treats everything like an experiment finally experiences genuine affection, she discovers that the human heart doesn't always follow a formula.
