Someone—or something—doesn't want Daisy Pearson at The Haven Farm. And it isn't just the giant black dog that keeps showing up.

​

When her grandfather passes and leaves her The Haven Farm in Lavenderwood Valley, Daisy sees a chance to outrun the worst year of her life and finally build something that's hers. A small town tucked into lavender fields should be the perfect fresh start—except her freelance business isn't paying the bills fast enough, strange accidents keep piling up around the property, and the past she left behind isn't as far behind her as she'd like.

​

Henry Karber has come to accept his role as the grumpy local doctor, begrudgingly. His life is exactly how he likes it: quiet, predictable, split evenly between propping up his sister's bookstore and patching up patients who won't take his advice. Then his sister makes a new friend, the whirlwind that is the new girl in town shows up and changes everything.

​

As the trouble at the farm turns from strange to genuinely dangerous, Daisy and Henry are forced together and the slow burn between them gets a lot harder to ignore.

Don't Date the Doctor is a grumpy/sunshine, friend's-older-brother, slow-burn with all the banter of a small-town romcom—featuring a sunshiny new girl in town with a mysterious past, a misunderstood grumpy doctor, and a cast of characters just as colorful and vivid as the town they live in.

​

This spicy small-town romantic suspense is the first book in a series of interconnected standalones in the Love in Lavenderwood Valley series.
