GONE FROM LAKEWOOD MED (The Lakewood Series Book Five) by TJ Amberson - eBook

Lakewood Rule #5: Don't fall in love with your fake fiance 

Irene Thatcher has accomplished her dream of becoming an attending physician in Lakewood's new emergency department, and she's sure her life's plan is on track . . . until a poignant experience at work causes her to reconsider what she really wants. Inspired to live more fully, she tells her boyfriend about her new dreams, but her world is rocked again when he isn't on board and breaks up with her. Heartbroken but still resolved, Irene impulsively hops a plane to Italy. Soon, she meets Paul Conti, the alluring man who manages the apartment she's renting in Rome. When Irene admits that she's not sure when she'll be ready to return home, Paul proposes a deal: she can stay in the apartment for as long as she needs it, if she pretends to be his fiancée while she's in town so his grandparents will stop meddling in his love life. Irene and Paul team up, and it isn't long before she starts believing that she has found the meaning she has been searching for . . . but then an unexpected turn of events forces her to decide what type of life she truly wants to live.

*What TJ means when describing her books as "sweet" or "closed-door"

SWEET: the book has a more light-hearted tone, it's tropey, and there's no swearing.

CLOSED-DOOR: there is no on-page sex - if there's anything that implies off-page sex, it's between a married couple.
