The Love Hypothesis meets The Hating Game in this grumpy × grumpy academic romcom, where the only thing more unbearable than faculty politics is the slowest of slow burns.
Jia Sharma has a capital-P Plan: survive academia, impress the right people, and avoid disasters. Too bad her new co-worker is an academic menace with an unhealthy obsession with Post-it notes, a talent for delivering cutting insults with research-level precision, and unfortunately, forearms that should be illegal.

What follows is an enemies-to-lovers romance filled with petty academic rivalry, forced proximity, and sizzling slow-burn chemistry. If you love witty banter, workplace romance, and grumpy academic heroes, this laugh-out-loud romcom is for you!

Perfect for fans of STEM/Academia romances, rivals-to-lovers books, and forced proximity love stories.
