ABOUT LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE:

The story: Five years ago, Lark was planning a wedding to her high school sweetheart when her dreams were abruptly shattered.


Her fiancé’s cancer came back in full force, and she was left to pick up the pieces of her life alone and afraid of a future without him.


Her goal of becoming an oncologist kept her going and she’s nearly reached it when she’s fired for being “too emotional.”


How can she not be emotional when every dying patient reminds her of what she lost?

 

Enter Lorenzo Santini, aka “Dr. Satan,” the arrogant, renowned surgeon who offers to help Lark get her job back.


The only catch? She must pose as his girlfriend in the leadup to his sister’s wedding and fool his entire family.


It’s not until their fake-dating scheme is underway that Lark meets Lorenzo’s brother, Dante, a man she feels strangely drawn to for reasons she can’t explain.


As Lark gets to know Lorenzo’s family and begins a new rotation in the hospital ER, she is surprised to find herself forming new connections and feeling renewed confidence in her work.


Life hasn’t turned out as Lark planned, but is she brave enough to take the second chances offered in love, happiness, and healing?
