They're Strictly Friends by Chloe Liese
Though France and England have long since buried the hatchet, for Lucas Edwards and Elodie Bertrand, the battle of wits across the Channel is alive and well. Their friendship is equal parts intellectual duel and undeniable tension—sharp banter, stolen glances, and a simmering chemistry they both pretend not to notice.

Lucas, the picture of British charm with a strict tie routine and a fondness for Shakespeare, keeps things tidy—both in his office and in his personal life. But when a devastating diagnosis shakes the foundation of his future, he decides to keep Elodie, the brilliant and vivacious French mathematician, firmly in the “just friends” column. He can't afford for love to become another variable in his already unpredictable equation.

Elodie, with her perfect Parisian sass and tendency to hilariously mangle British idioms, isn't convinced. The way Lucas looks at her, the tension in every conversation, and his not-so-subtle protectiveness—none of it adds up. And when fate forces them into close quarters, she begins to see the Lucas isn’t pushing her away because he doesn’t care—he’s doing it because he cares too much.

A heartfelt standalone friends-to-lovers romance bursting with cross-cultural charm, sizzling tension, laugh-out-loud moments, Harry Potter nods, and a swoon-worthy happily-ever-after. The first book in the Tough Love spinoff series.
