The Story
"Compulsively readable."--JULIE SOTO, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Love Sick
Friendship like this should come with a warning label...
Asher Foley is an imposter--at least, that's how it feels. The letters "MD" after his name should mean he's confident, respected, put-together. Instead, he still feels like the class clown pretending to be a grown-up doctor.
Jocelyn Maddox is a paradox--warm, fearless, but utterly closed off. She's lost too much already--family, love, home--and she's not about to gamble her heart again. As an anesthesiologist, she'll fix everyone else's pain and refuses to feel her own. It makes Asher, her flirty best friend-slash-work husband, perfectly safe. Right?
When a surgical complication forces Asher to drop the mask and show her the man underneath, Jocelyn sees more than the jokes and easy smiles. She sees him. And suddenly, the walls she's built to survive begin to crack--one look, one laugh, one heartbeat at a time.
"Heartfelt and smart, Love Sick is just what the doctor ordered."--Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Breakup Tour
Grey's Anatomy meets The Love Hypothesis in this delicious, laugh out loud rom-com set in the world of a tight-knit group of OB-GYN residents--written by a practicing physician.

About the Author
Duncan, Deidra: - DEIDRA DUNCAN spends her days (and some nights) living the dream as a board-certified OB/GYN, where every minute is either routine monotony or sheer terror. She lives in Florida with two human tornadoes and the wonderful man who helped make them. She's usually dressed in either scrubs or glitter, and would love for someone to magically combine them. She devotes every rare moment of free time to writing or reading. deidraduncan.com
