Hi Reader!

Can you believe it's almost here?! Bedside Manner releases THIS MONDAY, and I'm bursting with excitement (and maybe a few nervous butterflies). If you haven't snagged your pre-order yet, there's still time! Trust me, you don't want to miss watching the Ice King melt for his Trauma Cowboy.

Here's what you're in for: Dr. Maxwell York runs his cardiothoracic department like a well-oiled machine—precise, sterile, and perfectly controlled. Dr. Jax O'Connell? He's pure, beautiful chaos. When hospital renovations force these polar opposites to share an office (with only a strip of blue painter's tape keeping the peace), sparks fly, walls crumble, and what starts as friction ignites into something neither of them saw coming.

Think ER meets 90s rom-com. Think enemies-to-lovers with medical drama, laugh-out-loud moments, and enough heat to set off the hospital sprinklers. 🔥

And speaking of heat... more ARC reviews are IN, and readers are LOVING it!

"Bedside Manner was like reading a spicy Grey's Anatomy episode with a dose of Scrubs comedy added into the mix."

"I kept describing this book to a friend as ER meets 90's Romcom... The story grabbed me on the first page."

"I loved this book! So much so, I finished it in one day!"

Seeing these reviews roll in has been absolutely surreal. This book was such a joy to write, and knowing it's resonating with readers means everything to me.

But here's the thing...

While I was writing Bedside Manner, something unexpected happened. Maxwell's younger brother, Preston, completely stole my heart. He was supposed to be a fun supporting character, but he wormed his way into my soul with his eccentric charm, his cutting wit, and that gorgeous chaos he brings to every scene. I couldn't stop thinking about him.

So naturally, I did what any reasonable author would do: I'm giving him his own book! 😍

I'm already 15,000 words into Bedside Manner 2 (working title... official title coming very soon wink wink nudge nudge), and Preston's journey to find love is shaping up to be everything I hoped for and more. I can't wait to share his story with you!

Pre-order Bedside Manner now! (Seriously, Monday is RIGHT around the corner!)

Thank you all for being the best readers an author could ask for. Your excitement, your support, your love for these characters: it fuels every word I write.

See you Monday for release day! 🎉

All my love,
C.G. Macington

P.S. — If you grab Bedside Manner and love it, please consider leaving a review! It helps other readers find Max and Jax's story, and I read every single one. 💙

He took down my walls. Then I learned he was the voice behind my favorite late-night messages.
So why do I still want him?
