What to expect

'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


Two best friends start a collision course toward something more in this emotional romance for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Abby Jimenez and Grey's Anatomy.

Doctor Asher Foley feels like an imposter. The letters 'MD' after his name should mean he's confident and respected, but instead, he still feels like the class clown pretending to be a serious doctor.

Anesthesiologist Jocelyn Maddox is a paradox, fixing everyone else's pain while refusing to feel her own. After all, she's lost too much already, and she's not about to gamble her heart again. It makes Asher, her charming, light-hearted colleague, a perfectly safe best friend. Right?

But 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 the real Asher might just be the one person who can finally break the walls around her heart . . .

'Devastating in its raw vulnerability and gleeful feet-kicking swoonworthiness, Love and Other Side Effects is a book to be devoured' Maggie Eckersley, author of Back In The Saddle

Critics Review

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
Devastating in its raw vulnerability and gleeful feet-kicking swoonworthiness, Love and Other Side Effects is a book to be devoured. Asher and Jocelyn bare their darkest feelings and highest walls on page in an honest exploration of what it means to love
Maggie Eckersley, author of Back In The Saddle
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
Deidra Duncan is a specialist in rom-com and prescribes us a cinnamon roll hero who pines deliciously, and a jaded woman who falls harder and deeper than she ever dreamed. Read this one stat!
Noreen Nanja, author of The Summers Between Us
Love and Other Side Effects is a friends-to-lovers joyride. Packed to the brim with hilarious antics and delicious banter, Duncan brings forbidden yearning to the next level
Christy Schillig, author of Lessons in Falling
Compulsively readable, Love Sick is equal parts sexy and angsty. Deidra Duncan nailed all my favorite aspects from medical dramas
Julie Soto, No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller, on Love Sick
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, on Love Sick
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. Readers who love workplace romance, enemies-to-lovers banter, and STEMinist heroines will have a ball
