An Academic Affair

The Love Hypothesis meets The Hating Game in a new standalone rom-com from New York Times acclaimed author and romance academic Jodi McAlister.

Sadie Shaw and Jonah Fisher have known each other for fifteen years – and they’ve disliked each other for every one of them. It started with a minor altercation in an undergrad literature class, but as their academic careers developed, so did the intensity of their arguments. By the time they graduate with their doctorates, they’re embroiled in a full-on rivalry.

So when a position comes up that Sadie and Jonah are both perfect for, their ongoing enmity explodes into a red-hot competition. As Sadie fights for a job that can secure her future and increase the representation of women on the tenure track, she begins to realise that Jonah may not just be her nemesis – he may be the key to landing her dream job. But when things get personal, she’ll have to keep her eye on the prize. After all, if she’s not careful, the friction between them might just spark into something wholly unexpected…
