Love and Other Side Effects

Ali Hazelwood meets Grey’s Anatomy in this snarky and steamy romcom about a tight group of OB-GYN residents, where two best friends collide into something more, written by a practicing physician.

An anesthesiologist with zero pain tolerance and a surgeon with imposter syndrome team up as besties which leads to something more…

Asher Foley is an imposter. Or rather, he feels that way sometimes. The “MD” after his name should mean he’s got his life together, that people take him seriously, but he can’t shake the feeling he’ll never lose his reputation as a jokester.

Jocelyn Maddox is a paradox—a confident, affectionate woman who refuses to love. After losing most everyone to one tragedy or another—she won’t even think about Hurricane Katrina—she’s unwilling to open her heart and risk being hurt again. An anesthesiologist with zero pain tolerance. Who’d have thought? But that’s why Asher’s the perfect best friend (and work husband). He’s far too lighthearted to be a threat to her walls.

When a surgical complication compels Asher to confide his insecurities to Joss, she uncovers a whole new side to him. A deeper, more fascinating side. In soothing him through his self-doubt, Joss realizes Asher has struck a crack in her walls.
