Book Description
In search of the proverbial good time, Chemistry Matters is a contemporary novel about two charismatic brothas who couldn't share more of a bond if they were actually brothers. Anton "MAJAC" Charles is a straight-shooting, Naval submarine officer whose only Achilles heel is wearing his heart on his sleeve. A hopeless romantic, Anton tries to free himself of the lonely life of a bachelor by diving head-first into courting the undeniably sexy Celeste.
