There's more than one definition to the phrase love sick... There are a few things everyone should know about Amanda Murphy.

1. Doctors have not been able to name her undiagnosed autoimmune disease so she's taken the privilege upon herself. Delores dictates all facets of her life including but not limited to what activities she participates in as well as being the reason she broke up with her college boyfriend years ago.
2. Because of her family's stubborn belief that her illness is all in her head (an invisible illness is not the same as imaginary, people!), she will go to any length to keep Delores a secret from her friends lest they think she's crazy too. That includes saying jaw-dropping things as red herrings and maybe even faking a relationship with her pro football player ex.
3. She has no idea how to sew. Amanda Murphy has many regrets ranging from something simple like eating a piece of chocolate cake when she knows good and well it's going to cause her body pain later to letting the love of her life, Peter Reynolds, believe they were never meant to be together. She tortures herself by watching him on the football field every Sunday but is consoled by knowing her decision to break up with him years ago was for his own benefit. He never would have gotten where he was now—the top defensive player in the league—if he'd stayed with her. But her past decisions are catching up with her when her boss orders her to become Peter's social media manager. Peter Reynolds is used to tackling quarterbacks on the field, but the only time he's been brought to his knees was by Amanda. He never thought he'd see her again, but now they are forced to work closely with each other. Years later and it seems she's still hiding herself from those closest to her, making decisions on other peoples' behalf. She's protecting her heat, but he's determined to get past her defenses and win her back.
