She's a brilliant OB-GYN resident trying to survive her first year. He's her arrogant, infuriatingly handsome coworker. And the hospital gossip is about to make everything a whole lot messier.

Grace Rose has worked incredibly hard to earn her place in a competitive OB-GYN residency program.

She's intelligent, ambitious, and determined to prove she belongs.

But surviving her first year of residency is already difficult enough without becoming the center of a scandal she had absolutely nothing to do with.

Apparently, everyone thinks she slept with the boss to get her position.

Seriously?

Grace is battling social anxiety, exhausting hospital shifts, and the pressure of proving herself in a demanding medical environment.

The last thing she needs is a ridiculous rumor threatening everything she's worked for.

And then there's Julian Santini.

Her frustratingly handsome, incredibly rude co-resident who seems to know exactly how to get under her skin.

Unfortunately for Julian, Grace is done being pushed around.

Armed with her signature devil-red lipstick and a determination to defend herself, she finally puts him in his place.

But standing up for herself doesn't make the rumors disappear.

No matter how hard Grace works or how much support she receives from her fellow residents, the whispers continue to follow her through the hospital.

And the irony?

Grace hasn't been romantically involved with anyone since her ex shattered her heart during medical school.

Romance is the absolute last thing on her mind.

Especially when she's trying to build a career, protect her reputation, and survive the emotional roller coaster of residency.

But working alongside Julian means avoiding him isn't exactly an option.

And beneath their clashing personalities and sharp exchanges, there's an attraction that threatens to complicate an already chaotic situation.

Because sometimes the person who drives you absolutely crazy might be the one who surprises you the most.

Funny, heartfelt, and filled with workplace tension, Love Sick delivers an enemies-to-lovers medical romantic comedy featuring competitive OB-GYN residents, hospital gossip, witty banter, professional ambition, and the unexpected possibility of finding love in the middle of complete chaos.

Perfect for readers who love the hospital drama of Grey's Anatomy, the workplace rivalry of The Hating Game, and the smart, science-minded heroines of Ali Hazelwood's romances.
