Under One Roof
by Hazelwood, Ali
Mara is a high-achieving environmental engineer who suddenly finds herself co-owning a house with Liam, a man who represents everything she dislikes about the corporate world. The catch is that they are forced to share the same living space, turning their home into a battlefield of passive-aggressive notes and tense encounters. This novella leans hard into the friction of being trapped with someone you cannot stand, but it balances that annoyance with a sharp, witty sense of humor. The pacing is brisk, making it an ideal choice for a single-sitting read. You will enjoy this if you prefer your romances with a side of intellectual sparring, messy living arrangements, and that specific, satisfying relief when two people finally stop fighting their attraction and start making sense to one another.
