About Prescription for a Frozen Heart, a Medical Romance
“A delightfully captivating medical drama filled with romance and that ever-elusive second chance.” The Wishing Shelf
Workaholic, kid-shy Dr Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Kriel is a petite, fiery sports doc who’s built her life around two simple rules: men are not to be trusted and kids are best avoided.
Anaesthetist Dr Thomás Ribeiro is everything a woman could wish for: a skilled healer, a devoted father, and undeniably Dreamland’s most swoon-worthy doctor. Except love is not on his prescription pad or in his frozen heart.
Charlie’s broken heart’s strong cage worked perfectly until she meets eleven-year-old Emilía and her delectable but irritating dad. It’s bad enough fighting the impossible yearning for a child of her own, now she needs to squash her debilitating attraction to the Arctic Iceman.
Thomás is captivated—and frustrated—by Charlie’s fierce spirit and the glimpses of vulnerability he sees. But when she finds out he is keeping secrets from his daughter, she asks for the impossible: he must come clean with Emilía.
He could lose everything…or win it all…
If you adore single dads, smart-mouthed kids longing for a family, and heart-warming romance wrapped in medical drama, you’ll fall hard for this emotionally charged tale of love, healing, and second chances. A guaranteed happily ever after awaits!
To be released on 1 March 2025 on Amazon & Kobo. For release week the price will be $2,99 for the e-pub version. Pre-orders available.

Work hard, play hard, honour God, is Jo-Anne’s motto. The only time she sits still is while reading, even then she sometimes spins. She’s an avid romance reader and had immense pleasure creating this novel. Prescription for a Frozen Heart follows her debut novel, Surf n Turf. She is a medical doctor in Cape Town, South Africa. When she’s not consulting or field-side, she’s out taking photos or concocting stories while running. She relishes anything outdoors and delights in travelling with her husband.
Jo-Anne is delighted to have received a 5 star rating from the Wishing Shelf Awards . “As we all know, romance is a HUGE genre. Readers, it seems, just love the Pride and Prejudice plot – girl meets boy, they don’t get on (but there’s lots of chemistry), then things – develop, and they end up getting on very well indeed! And that’s what is on offer here in this smartly plotted, well-written medical romance from the pen of talented writer, Jo-Anne Duffett. If you happen to be on the hunt for a ‘will they / won’t they / they probably will’ romance set in the world of medicine, this book is for you.” The Wishing Shelf
