Their sexy cease-fire!
Working together to save Paddington Children’s Hospital, paramedic Victoria Christie and Dr. Dominic MacBride never fail to challenge each other. Until one night they discover a new way to relieve the tension...by turning their arguments into reckless abandon!
Dom came to Paddington’s to escape a betrayal and has no intention of falling in love—but when Victoria reveals she’s pregnant he finds himself reevaluating his lone-wolf status. Now he’s fighting for the woman who fires his blood, and their surprise baby!
I thoroughly enjoyed writing the opening book for the Paddington Children’s Hospital continuity series. The stories are set in a busy London hospital, and it was wonderful to work with other authors and to see all the characters come to life.
Though the book is set in London, my hero—Dominic—hails from Edinburgh, which happens to be one of my favourite places in the world. As well as its stunning architecture and history, the people’s accent makes my toes curl! This summer I was lucky enough to spend some time in Scotland, and made a little side-trip to Edinburgh with my sister. She accused me of spending a lot of the time daydreaming, and of course I did—I didn’t tell her that I was actually rather hoping to run into Dominic.
I hope he makes your toes curl, too!
Happy reading,

CAROL MARINELLI recently filled in a form asking for her job title. Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put ‘writer’. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation and she put down the truth—‘writing’. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not wanting to look obsessed, she crossed her fingers and answered ‘swimming’—but, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights, I’m sure you can guess the real answer!

‘HELLO, BEAUTIFUL!’
Victoria’s smile was friendly as she walked into the lounge ahead of Glen, to where little Penelope Craig, or Penny, as she liked to be known, lay on the sofa. Victoria had already had a conversation with Julia, Penny’s mother, in the hallway.
Usually, two paramedics dressed in green overalls entering a home would be a somewhat nerve-racking sight for a six-year-old, but little Penny was more than used to it.
‘Victoria!’
Even though she was unwell, little Penny sat up a touch on the sofa where she lay, and her huge grey eyes widened in delight. She was clearly pleased that it was her favourite paramedic who was here to take her to Paddington Children’s Hospital, or the Castle as it was more generally known.
‘She hoped that it would be you coming to take her,’ Julia said.
