Yeju Hwarng no longer believes in love. After breaking up with her long-term girlfriend and watching her parents divorce over the summer, all her passion disappeared, including her passion for science that got her into her microbiology Ph.D. program. When a new roommate moves into the apartment, Yeju recognizes her as more than just a familiar face; she is an enemy that needs to be chased out of her life. Lia Choi does not need love. Her parent never gave her any, and confessing to her childhood best friend over the summer only caused a fall out. Love has proven to be both unnecessary and a liability, and all Lia needs instead is to do well in college and get into a prestigious research position in the microbiology department. Unfortunately, her research mentor turns out to be her new roommate. And she is hell bent on ruining Lia's life. Tension escalates both at home and in the lab, but the more they work together, the more they realize: they have a common goal, and they need each other to achieve that. All they need to do is to open their hearts.

When aspiring writer Marcie is hired as the personal assistant to her all-time favorite author, Rosalind Lindbergh, she expects to be learning the ins and outs of the industry - not fending off red-hot feelings that aren't exactly "workplace appropriate." Season 1 of Romancing The Writer *** Willing to do anything to prove she has it together, unemployed writer/perpetual screw-up Marcella Harper somehow manages to land her second-place dream job: personal assistant to her personal hero, best-selling author Rosalind Lindbergh. Brutally dumped less than 24 hours after her first day, Marcie discovers that there may be no better distraction than her new job ... and new boss. After all, Marcie has had a crush on über-famous, ultra-hot Roz since high school. And - although she promised Marcie their relationship was strictly professional - Roz might just be returning her awkward, bumbling advances. When lines begin to blur and career prospects end up on the line, Marcie is sure of one thing: either she gives up on her dreams, or her dream woman. "You know, they have tutorials online for this kind of thing," I tell her. "You know, I hired a personal assistant for this kind of thing," she retorts. And then, we both stand there, awkwardly close. We watch the coffee sputter, then begin to pour. Neither of us utters a word. And, when it's done pouring, neither of us reach for it. "Are you ... not gonna take your coffee?" I finally ask. It's quiet. Tentative. "Oh. Right."

(12x featured) When alluring bad girl Natalie Holt is forced to be roommates with the sweet Mira Jung, neither of them expect the tension to brew into a steaming attraction. ********* Hot guys. Hot women. Endless tans at the beach. All at the fingers of one beautiful but notorious bad girl Natalie Holt. Her bed is never empty, and even though it's a different person every time, she prefers it that way. But when her third roommate-with-benefits ends horribly, her plans to save up enough money to open her dream dance studio might just go down the drain. So when Mira Jung, the girl whom she resents, offers a free room at her luxury condo, she has no choice but to accept it. Besides, even if Mira irritates her to death, she's still cute... and interesting. Sweet dancer Mira Jung is desperately looking for a roommate so she can be away from her overbearing rich parents. While they're paying for her condo, it was under two conditions: she can't live alone, and she can't live with a boy. With the clock ticking, she invites Natalie to extend her one-night couch surfing into a permanent roommate arrangement. Seems like the worst idea, especially when Natalie is like a roommate sent straight from hell who resents Mira from day one. But Mira is still drawn to Natalie's alluring aura... because she's too damn hard to resist. What if Mira is exactly the right dosage of sweet espresso that Natalie needs?

And one teacher, and their relentless assignments, bring them closer together. *** "You missed me?" I ask as if it's such a shock because to me it is. I'm a nobody. "Hm."

"You do realise you can just ask me?" I'm a hypocrite, I couldn't do it either.

"If you wanted me to fuck you, all you had to do was ask," Tazmin said, her raspy voice lowered as she drew one of her hands up the inside of my thigh. I clenched my jaw, "I didn't," I gritted, even if we both knew it was a full-faced lie. Especially with me bent over her desk with my hands held behind my back.

I drew in a deep breath, feeling the needy ache between my legs grow as she caressed her fingers back and forth against my covered core.
