Monday Mood - Just What the Doctor Hired

Are you in the mood for a fake date with real chemistry? This flirty hospital romance proves that sometimes love shows up right on schedule—even if it’s hired. Just What the Doctor Hired by Amanda Nelson & Lisa-Marie Potter. 

Book Title: Just What the Doctor Hired 

Release Date: July 9, 2025 

Teaser: I licked my lips, slow and seductive, before wrapping my arms around his neck, my hips pressed against him, and swayed to the beat.  

A doctor’s award ceremony and a hired date- is their chemistry a prescription for love? 

Student Autumn Haze's motto is: no men until she completes her Bachelor of Nursing degree. Years before, Autumn learned the hard way men are just a distraction she can't afford until she's established her career and what she wants. While moonlighting as a Plus One companion pays the bills, she struggles to follow her rules after meeting her newest contract. Pediatric Hospitalist Jensen Edwards is still recovering from a bad breakup that left him the talk of the hospital. Now he's receiving a Best Doctor's award, but after he hires Autumn as his plus one, Jensen is on edge. If word gets out that he hired a companion, rumors are bound to circulate, making work unbearable-again. Their chemistry as a fake couple is undeniable, but can a chance at a real relationship override their fear of commitment?

We asked Amanda and Lisa-Marie where are their favorite three places to visit - and why?
1. Both Amanda and Lisa-Marie love visiting Washington state. As obsessive Twilight book fans, they visited Forks back in 2011 and fell in love with the area. Now, they visit the Pacific Northwest annually, and the area is featured in each of their books. 
2. England is another favorite place for the two of them. Lisa-Marie is a native of Nottingham, and she still has loads of family in the area. Together, though, Amanda and Lisa-Marie have toured the country and have featured certain locations in their YA speculative manuscript that’s still in the editing stages. 
3. Lisa-Marie would choose Arizona as the third of her favorite places to visit because that’s where two of her three kids live, and Amanda. Not to mention, she lived in Queen Creek, AZ, for eighteen years and loves the weather and scenery.
