Synopsis

Mara, an environmental engineer with strong opinions and a soft heart, inherits half a house from her beloved late mentor. The catch: the other half goes to Liam, a corporate lawyer for a Big Oil company and, as far as Mara is concerned, the human embodiment of everything she fights against. Neither is willing to give up the house, so they agree to a frosty cohabitation.

Forced to share a kitchen, a thermostat, and far too many charged silences, Mara and Liam discover that their late mentor may have had a matchmaker's motives all along. As grudging tolerance thaws into something warmer, both have to reconsider the assumptions they made about each other on sight.

The first of Ali Hazelwood's STEMinist novellas, Under One Roof is a short, warm enemies-to-lovers rom-com about women in science, unlikely chemistry, and the person you least expect turning out to be exactly right.
