Sadie Evans has seen eleven doctors. Twelve, if you count the urgent care guy who told her she was dehydrated. The diagnosis is always some version of the same thing: It's just anxiety.
It's not.
So when Sadie's mother hires a Rent-A-M.A.N.?a service that rents out men, because apparently her concerns need a plus-one to be taken seriously?Sadie expects an awkward stranger in khakis. Instead, she gets Max Simmons: infuriatingly calm, inconveniently gorgeous, secretly a doctor, and the first person in years who listens as though her words are evidence instead of noise.
With Max as her secret weapon, Sadie's blog about dismissed patients catches fire?and so does everything between them. Late-night work sessions turn into lingering looks and shared pastries, and for the first time in years, Sadie believes she has found someone she can trust.
But Max is hiding a truth that connects him to the worst night of her life.
And when it comes out, Sadie?who built her whole platform on being heard?must decide whether she's brave enough to listen.
