LOVE & PANIC

2024 American Legacy Book Awards & 2023 Best Book Awards Finalist: Romance

She left safety to save the doctor’s life. Now his feelings for her might ruin them both.

Natalie is done with the outside world. After enduring a series of personal tragedies and battling her crippling anxiety and OCD, she’s resigned herself to her small, safe apartment and the company of her cat. But when she starts suffering from terrifying daily panic attacks, she begins to reconsider her life choices and self-imposed confinement.

Dean is drowning in alcohol and sorrow. Happily racing toward death, the former pediatric surgeon passes out in the snow one night…only to be rescued by an erratic yet sunshiny agoraphobe. And as they spend time together, her quirky personality and kind heart threaten to reopen emotional wounds and send the disgraced physician tumbling down another pit of despair.

As Natalie fights to conquer her fears, she’s caught between her feelings for the emotionally distant Dean and a new firefighter suitor who actually wants a relationship. And Dean is falling hard for the always-upbeat Natalie, but he fears his troubled past and present addictions will only destroy her.

They may have found in each other what they’ve needed most, but can they brave their pasts for a chance at unexpected love?

Love & Panic is a heartfelt, inspiring romance with delicious heat and a touch of humor—perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Lucy Score, and Aly Martinez.

Expect playful banter, snowball fights, and so many feels you'll wonder how this book contains them all.
