Hi, I'm Francesca Lake, WBCG TV's medical reporter. Privately, I am on a mission to marry a doctor. After my recent mortifying episode in the ER, it's clear I suck at self-diagnosis. It all started when I thought I was having a heart attack. I made a cringe-worthy entrance at the hospital, but in my defense, I thought I was DYING. You can ask Harrison Taylor, my dog's vet. He was the one who carried me into the ER.

I used to love my job reporting the social scene, but I've been recently drafted as the station's medical reporter . God only knows what diseases I will have to report on. This is not a good thing for a closet hypochondriac! There's only one upside-medical reporting means meeting lots of doctors. Surely, there will be a few eligible bachelors in the mix…

I'm trying to ignore my wild attraction to Harrison, but his forest green eyes, rugged physique and warm smile make my insides melt…not to mention other parts. My adorable dog, Romeo, is in love with Harrison, and he's convinced Harrison is for me. But I'm looking for a "human" doctor. Harrison is an animal doctor. Do I look like an animal? Well, only on a bad hair day, but that's beside the point.

Marrying a doctor calls for a methodical approach, and I intend to date as many as I can to meet "the one." I have to ignore Romeo's blatant attempts to matchmake me with Harrison. But ignoring my pounding heart when I'm around swoony Harrison is another matter entirely…
