The heroines all feel slighted by the heroes in some way, whether it's because they work for a large firm instead of a startup or because they expressed concern about their research projects.

While the characters may blur together in a mix-and-match whirlwind of nerdy-and-feminine meets broody-and-masculine descriptors, the settings add some variety, starting in an urban house and ending in the Arctic. Forced proximity and frustrating miscommunication are the unifying themes across all three stories. However, he seems to be the only one willing to put his life on the line to get the two of them to safety. Lastly, in Below Zero, aerospace engineer Hannah is stranded in the Arctic with Ian, the man she feels is responsible for nearly ruining her expedition. They previously had a fling, and their residual feelings bubble to the surface when they get stuck in an elevator together. In Stuck With You, Sadie and Erik are two engineers who work in the same New York City building but for different companies. Helena, who was Mara's former mentor and Liam's aunt, left Mara half of her Washington, D.C., house upon her death, meaning Mara and Liam have to share it unless one of them agrees to let the other buy them out-and neither is prepared to do that. Their main point of contact: the thermostat. In Under One Roof, environmental engineer Mara and corporate lawyer Liam are unlikely roommates, as confirmed by their frequent butting of heads. Hazelwood's STEMinist novellas, a loosely linked trilogy originally published separately over the course of 2022, now arrive packaged together with an exclusive bonus chapter that checks in on the couples as they settle into their romantic lives.
