Yours Truly
Dr. Briana Ortiz is having a terrible year. Her marriage has ended, her beloved brother needs a kidney transplant, and the promotion she has worked toward is likely going to Jacob Maddox, the irritatingly perfect new doctor who made a disastrous first impression. Then Jacob does something unexpected: he writes her a letter, apologizing and revealing a funny, anxious, genuinely kind person she never saw beneath the surface.
The letters keep coming, and a real friendship grows alongside a mutually convenient arrangement to fake-date their way through a family wedding and a work rivalry. But as Briana lets her guard down, Jacob offers her something so enormous and generous that she can barely accept it, and the pretend relationship starts to feel dangerously real.
Yours Truly is a companion to Abby Jimenez's Part of Your World, a warm, funny contemporary romance that pairs charming banter and old-fashioned letter-writing with heavier themes of anxiety, illness, and learning to trust again.
A divorcing ER doctor juggling a family crisis and a rivalry at work.
The anxious, kind new doctor who wins Briana over through letters.
Briana's younger brother, whose kidney failure and place on the transplant list drive much of the story.
Jacob's younger brother, whose wedding is the occasion for the fake-dating arrangement.
Briana's ex-husband, whose infidelity ended their marriage and whose divorce she is finalising.
This story functions as a standalone, though it exists within a shared universe where characters from previous novels, such as Part of Your World, make appearances as established couples. You can follow the plot perfectly without prior knowledge of the other books, but reading them in order allows you to see the full development of the recurring side characters.
