Dr Ruth Coldwell is the world’s worst matchmaker. Mostly because she has never been in a functioning relationship herself. But if she cannot convince her boss she actually knows something about love, she will be out of a job and back to being a heartbroken academic with a useless doctorate. So Ruth blurts out the only thing that might save her career… she claims to be married. Which is how Callum Reed finds himself with a fake wife. Cal marches into a speed-dating event ready to tell off the so-called expert who keeps matching him with disasters. Instead, he discovers Ruth needs a fake husband, and he needs a fake girlfriend. Their problems line up a little too neatly, so Cal proposes a deal: she pretends to be his partner, and he pretends to be her devoted spouse. Easy. Simple. No feelings required. Except fake dating quickly turns into lingering looks, steamy “anatomy lessons,” and chemistry that does not feel staged at all. And just when Ruth begins to believe she might deserve a real chance at love, a figure from her past resurfaces to remind her why she ran from romance in the first place… and why Cal should never risk his heart on her. With sharp banter, medical spice, and Atwood’s signature twist of danger , Kiss Me , Doc is a doctor romcom about two people who fake it a little too well. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for the Kiss-Met Series: ? ? ? ? ?
