Dr. Dempsey (Dempsey Follies Book 1)

He's the most infuriating man she's ever met—and somehow, her new boss.

When sharp-tongued resident physician Nora Callahan transfers to Mercy General, she expects challenges. She does not expect Dr. Callum Dempsey: arrogant, devastatingly competent, and utterly convinced that his way is the only way. He questions her every decision. She questions his every motive. The tension between them crackles through every hallway, every late-night shift, every charged moment when they're standing too close over a patient chart.

Callum Dempsey does not do complications. He has rules, routines, and a carefully constructed wall around everything that matters. Nora dismantles all three without even trying.

She's reckless where he's controlled. He's guarded where she's raw. Together, they're a disaster waiting to happen—except somehow, disaster keeps looking a lot like something else entirely.

Then one night changes everything, and suddenly the battle lines they've drawn feel less like protection and more like the only thing keeping them both from falling completely.

*Dr. Dempsey* is a slow-burn, sharp-witted enemies-to-lovers romance about two people who mistake passion for hatred until they can't afford to anymore. The first book in Grace Maxwell's addictive Dempsey Follies series, it asks the question that will keep you reading until 3 a.m.: what do you do when the person you can't stand becomes the person you can't breathe without?
