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!)

The daughter of a traitor is nothing, if not unwelcome. For Astrid Vandeleur it's much worse. Born with the ability to influence emotions and thoughts - she's seen as a threat...and a prize. The Kingdom of Aetheros has been run by eight noble families for centuries, each believed to be descendants of the Old Gods - Fae. When the magic starts to dwindle and fade, noble young women- along with young women from any background that might exhibit an inkling of magic, are rounded up and taken to a finishing school called the Northern Tower to make them ready for a Lottery - a process that allows them to take their place within a new family, marry, and eventually reproduce a child of magical quality. When Astrid draws the name of one of the crown princes of Aetheros, she's thrown into a world filled with court backstabbing, assassination attempts, and a man that wants nothing to do with her. With a rebellion on the horizon and Astrid's unwillingness to forget about her family, only one thing is for certain - everything comes with a price, especially magic.
