Loathe To Love You cover

This collection features three engaging stories that explore the dynamic between love and rivalry. Loathe To Love You showcases the journey of friends who are also scientists.

In Loathe To Love You, Ali Hazelwood presents three delightful short stories that intertwine the worlds of love and science. The characters, Mara, Sadie, and Hannah, are not only friends but also dedicated scientists who navigate the complexities of their professional lives while exploring the intricacies of romantic relationships. Each story highlights the theme that opposites attract, revealing how rivalry can ignite unexpected passions.

The first story, Under One Roof, introduces Mara, an environmental engineer who finds herself sharing a home with a big-oil lawyer. Their clashing personalities lead to humorous and tense situations, particularly over their differing views on environmental issues. As they learn to coexist, their initial animosity evolves into something more profound.

In Stuck with You, Sadie, a civil engineer, is trapped in an elevator with her long-time rival. The confined space forces them to confront their feelings for each other, leading to a blend of rivalry and romance. Finally, in Below Zero, Hannah, a NASA aerospace engineer, faces a life-threatening situation in the Arctic, where her only hope for rescue lies with her nemesis. This thrilling story showcases the depth of their rivalry and the potential for love to emerge in the most unexpected circumstances. Loathe To Love You is a celebration of friendship, science, and the unpredictable nature of love.

Neuroscientist and TikTok star Ali Hazelwood's funny, steamy stories marry science to sizzling sexual chemistry, as her three endearing heroines head from animosity to head-over heels with a trio of strong, stroppy but ultimately lovable work rivals/crushes. * Daily Mail *
