Stuck with You
A civil engineer and her nemesis take their rivalry and love to the next level when they get stuck in a New York elevator.

Below Zero
A NASA aerospace engineer's frozen heart melts as she lies injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station and the only person willing to undertake the dangerous rescue mission is her longtime rival.

going to continue now with the image of Chris. Thanks Sadie.

Hes wearing a suit, like 99 percent of the men who work in this block. Except that he looks unlike any other man I've ever seen.

 He looks like a corporate version of Thor. Like Platinum Ragnarok. 

I wish he'd smile at me, instead of just observing me. Id feel less intimidated. 

“Hey, I can do other things. For instance . .." I point at the third monitor on the desk, the one farthest away from me.  It displays a piece of code lan hasn't walked me through yet.

"What? It's code. It's always nice to have a second pair of eyes." 

"There's an error on the fifth line." He frowns. Then he scans the code for a second. Then he turns to me, to the monitor, to me again with an even bigger frown. 

I brace, half expecting him to lash out defensively and deny the error. I'm familiar with the crumbling egos of men, and I'm pretty sure it's what any of the guys in my Ph.D. class would do. 

But lan surprises me: he nods, fixes the mistake l pointed out, and looks nothing but grateful. Wow. A male engineer who's not an asshole. 

The bar is pretty low, but I'm nevertheless impressed.

but I can safely state that living with some guy you used to hate and somehow ended up slipping in love with is not a wise move. Trust me, I have a doctorate.

(In a totally unrelated field, but still.)

Frankly, "They get on like a house on fire" is the most misleading saying in the English language. Faulty wiring? Misuse of heating equipment? Suspected arson? Not evocative of two people getting along in the least. You know what a house on fire has me picturing? Bazookas. Flamethrowers. Sirens in the distance. Because nothing is more guaranteed to start a house fire than two enemies blowtorching each other's most prized possession. Want to trigger an explosion? Being nice to your roommate is not going to do it. Lighting a match on top of their kerosene-soaked handmade quilt, on the other hand-“

Anger bubbling up my throat, I tear the paper Liam gave me in four pieces and drop it on the coffee table for him to find later.

Then I go back to the porch, retrieve my suitcase, and start looking for an unused bedroom.

Guess what? I text Sadie and Hannah. Mara Floyd, Ph.D., just moved into her new house. And it's most definitely on fire.

Yeah. I should. Except that .. men. No, thank you. I am well aware that #NotAllMen are condescending shitlets like Sean, and I've had my share of perfectly nice boyfriends who didn't feel the need to Actually me when I tried to have a conversation.

"But maybe I still did better than Sean?"

I wouldn't have fallen for an unkind man.

Oh. That actually sounds good. But. "No croissants, though?"

"And I can make you a bagel. Cinnamon? Blueberry? Plain?"

Faye cocks her head with a pleased expression. "You really like my croissants, don't you?"

Do 1? "They're so, um." I clutch the strap of my fake-leather messenger bag. "Unique."

"Well, unfortunately I just gave the last one to Erik over there."
