Synopsis

First, do no harm.

Persephone Lovelace has always believed in the power of positive thinking—both in medical school and in dating. But when her ‘perfect’ boyfriend cheats, her grades slip dangerously low for the OB/GYN cutoff, and her toxic ex threatens to ruin her reputation unless she takes him back, Percy’s carefully curated optimism starts to crack.

Desperate times call for desperate (and possibly A.M.A.) measures.

Her solution? Fake-date the hospital’s most infamous doctor.

Enter Dr. Demon—brilliant, mercurial, and one complaint away from professional ruin. After failing to match into a surgical residency, he’s stranded in intern year purgatory, desperate for a way out. The last thing he needs is a fake girlfriend—even one as relentlessly sunny (and inconveniently charming) as Persephone.

But when she offers to help rehabilitate his reputation, he reluctantly agrees.

Yet between long shifts, whispered rumors, and carefully maintained lies, their calculated arrangement quickly spirals out of control.

And as Percy’s final year unravels, shadowed by phantoms both real and imagined, she is forced to choose between her career—

Or her heart.

Grey’s Anatomy meets The Love Hypothesis in this witty, dark rom-com set in the final year of medical school, written by a practicing intern doctor. It’s perfect for readers who want:

A book about doctors, narrated by Death
A grumpy surgeon falling for the sunshine medical student
A modern-day Hades and Persephone retelling set in a teaching hospital
A fake-dating bargain that ends in happily ever after
