"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.
Perfect for fans of:

Praise for Love and Other Side Effects "Hilarious and deeply romantic, Love and Other Side Effects is the perfect friends-to-lovers romance. You can't not fall for Asher and Jocelyn!"
--N.S. Perkins, author of The Infinity Between Us "Love and Other Side Effects is as addictive as any drug--once you pick it up you won't want to put it down! Fair warning: side effects of this book may include the occasional uncontrollable snort-laugh, strong urges to shout 'JUST KISS ALREADY!' at the main characters, and loss of sleep because you were up way too late reading this delightful gem of a love story."
--Emily Krempholtz, author of Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore Praise for Love Sick "Compulsively readable, Love Sick is equal parts sexy and angsty. Deidra Duncan nailed all my favorite aspects from medical dramas."--Julie Soto, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Amid a realistic portrayal of the highs and lows of medical resident life, enemies-to-lovers tension and nonstop banter fill this resonant and romantic debut. Heartfelt and smart, Love Sick is just what the doctor ordered."--Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Breakup Tour "Bursting with laughter, the joy of found family, and spicy will-they-or-won't-they tension, Duncan's debut about the struggles of OB/GYN residency is the perfect book for Grey's Anatomy fans who wish they could start the Meredith-and-McDreamy journey all over again."--Ashley Winstead, author of The Boyfriend Candidate
