If Aerulia wants to prove her theory of magical symbiosis, hatch a powerful, believed-to-be-extinct creature, and cure her parents of their mysterious magic-borne illness, she’ll have to let Dev in on a few secrets.But Dev has secrets of his own: One more failed investment, and Dev is not only out of a job, he and his siblings are out on the streets. Dev didn’t come to help. He came to shut Aerulia down. And if he keeps falling for her, it's going to make ruining her life really, really difficult.LOVE & OTHER COMMON TOXINS is a cozy romantasy for fans of slow-burn yearning, hilarious plant-based shenanigans, and adorable magical accomplices.Similar titles: The Spellshop, Hemlock & Silver, The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
