Willow James only wants two things in her life: freedom from her mother and success with her music. The winter showcase her university pulls together can give her that. A once in a lifetime opportunity, she gets in, but with the small twist that she has to write a song for someone else, someone the entire world seems to know about. Everyone, but her. Summer Bennett grew up in a loving house, with loving moms, big loving family and everything a child of a famous music producer and a hockey player can get. Aside from her family, dancing is Summer's life, or that's what everyone says and what she believes, until she's selected to participate in a Showcase. She's forced to spend time with someone she doesn't know, but at the same time, she feels like she wants to know her. Two different worlds, will the stars align for them?

Hazel Flynn's life is...fine. Not great. Not tragic. Just aggressively average. She's broke, drowning in student loans, working the front desk at a doctor's office and trying (unsuccessfully) to make it as an artist in New York. When she lies to her parents about having a girlfriend and an upcoming art exhibition, she fully expects both problems to somehow magically resolve themselves. They do not. With Christmas getting closer and no fake girlfriend in sight, Hazel is running out of time and courage. Sometimes the hardest thing isn't fooling everyone else. It's not fooling yourself.

At twenty-two, Hailey Parker is a single mom just trying to survive her new job as a secretary at the elite Bailington Academy. She's messy, bright, and full of heart-everything Professor Ellena Thorne has worked hard to shut out. Ellena is brilliant, reserved, and emotionally off-limits after a painful divorce. But when Hailey crashes into her world-literally-what starts as irritation turns into something far more complicated. Two women. One impossible attraction. And a slow-burn journey toward love, laughter, and maybe even healing.

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. Love is hard, but a life without love is harder. *** THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS meets DELILAH GREEN DOESN'T CARE; a STEM-oriented college sapphic romance about struggling adults navigating love despite their broken hearts. *This is a stand-alone spin-off to Cherry On Top. 💫 2023 Watty's Winner! 💫 Editor's Choice, 26 May 2023 - 29 June 2023 💫 Featured on Wattpad's Summer Loving Days reading list, 21 Jul 2023 💫 Featured on the official @lgbt, @Romance, @FreeTheLGBT, and @WattpadAfterDark profile First Published: 2 Feb 2023 Completed Date: 24 June 2023 Edited Date: 22 July 2023 Word Count: 55,000-60,000 Also posted on Scribblehub, Tapas, and RoyalRoad (Not on Amazon or anywhere else!)

"You're beautiful, but cold." That is what Cassidy Coletti-Ivanova has always thought about Zephyrine Roy. And maybe she is right. In Ravenswood, Canada, sports matter more than personality. People care more about who you are on the ice or on the mountain than who you are when nobody is watching. Growing up together is supposed to be easy. Your parents are best friends, so you are raised side by side. For Zephyrine and Cassidy, it never worked. They were like oil and water. Zephyrine, the reckless snowboarder with blue eyes, pale skin, black hair, and a mouth full of sarcasm, learned how to act like she did not care about anything. Cassidy, the brunette figure skater with hazel eyes, warm olive skin, and too many expectations on her shoulders, learned to believe she would never be enough. No matter how hard everyone tried, the two girls still ended up hating each other. Or at least, that is what they tell themselves. Because beneath the rivalry, the comparisons, and everything they never say, they mirror each other more than either of them wants to admit. Both are haunted by the same ghost, and by a past that seems to creep closer every winter. Then Cassidy starts dating Zephyrine's brother. And suddenly, the girl Zephyrine has spent her whole life trying to push away is impossible to avoid. Maybe Cassidy dating Zephyrine's brother brings Cassidy closer to Zephyrine in all the ways she secretly wished it would... and brings Zephyrine closer to Cassidy in ways she never imagined she wanted. Because sometimes, the first person who taught you how to be cold... is also the one who starts melting the ice. 𝗣.𝗦: 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗭𝗘𝗥𝗢 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀.

She loved her once. She loves her still. Zephyrine Roy, a 20 year old snowboarder, and Cassidy Coletti Ivanova, a 20 year old figure skater, started as rivals. Somewhere between tension, devotion, and two years of building a life together, everything between them changed. Then one tragic accident changed it again. Cassidy wakes up missing two years of her life. The relationship, the memories, the version of Zeph she learned to love, all of it is gone. What's left is the girl she used to clash with and a life that no longer feels like hers. Zephyrine remembers everything. What happens when the girl she built a life with suddenly only remembers the version of her she used to hate? As Zeph leaves for Switzerland to chase her Olympic dream, distance and temptation test what time has already taken. Loving someone who doesn't remember you means learning how to wait, how to stay quiet, and how to keep choosing them without knowing if they'll ever choose you back. This is not a story about falling in love. It's about endurance, about holding on when it would be easier to let go, and about a girl who has never quit in life or in love. Because even when things freeze, the heart remembers what the mind forgets. 𝗣.𝗦: 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗭𝗘𝗥𝗢 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸.
