‘From the first turbulent beginning until the final climactic ending, an entire range of emotions has been used to write a story of two people travelling the rocky road to love … an excellent story. I would recommend this story to all romance readers.’
—Contemporary Romance Reviews on Unlocking the Doctor’s Heart
‘I recommend this read for all fans of medical romance. It’s the perfect balance: spunky, emotional, heartfelt, a very sweet and tender romance with a great message!’
—Contemporary Romance Reviews on Unlocking the Doctor’s Heart
Phoebe heard a noise and saw a very tall male figure walking down the corridor towards her. She blinked as she saw he was bare to the waist, with a white hand towel around his neck.
‘I’m looking for Dr Ken Rollins. I’m Dr Phoebe Johnson from Washington.’
‘You’re Phoebe Johnson?’ the man said, with a look of surprise on his handsome face and doubt colouring his deep voice.
‘Yes, I am. Did he tell you I was arriving?’
The man wiped his forehead and his hands on the towel he was carrying, then stretched out his free hand. ‘I’m Heath Rollins, I’ve been expecting you. I’ll be standing in for my father over the next four weeks.’
Phoebe quickly realised as she met his handshake that the man standing before her was her new boss. She took a few steps back from the very warm handshake and looked warily at him. She had signed on to work with Ken Rollins. This Dr Rollins was definitely not in his sixties.
Disastrous, was the first thought that came to her mind. The second thought, as she looked at his lightly tanned physique, was not in any way ladylike and nothing she wanted to be considering with this man. Or any man now that she had sworn off the species. It was not what she needed …
In fact this was close to a catastrophe.
In this Christmas story my heroine, Dr Phoebe Johnson, declares that ‘all men are the same’ as she leaves her old life behind, choosing to focus on her career and forget about love. A cheating fiancé gives her no choice but to leave Washington or spend her life reliving the humiliation and heartbreak.
Many have experienced disappointment or heartbreak and muttered the very same words—although few have discovered on the eve of their wedding that their fiancé has slept with both bridesmaids! But poor Phoebe has, and it sends her packing to Australia in search of a quiet place to mend her heart and pride, burying herself in work with an older surgical mentor Dr Ken Rollins.
But the universe has other plans … and those plans materialise into the very handsome Dr Heath Rollins, who has stepped in to replace his injured father for one month. Despite Phoebe and Heath feeling an attraction, neither is looking for a relationship or anything close to it.
Phoebe and Heath’s journey to happily-ever-after is about:
• The need to bend rules and occasionally break them completely—particularly when true love is at stake
• Not judging all people on the actions of just one person
• Accepting that Christmas is a magical time and about so much more than tinsel and baubles … it’s about love and family
I hope you enjoy Phoebe and Heath’s love story, and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas filled with love!
Warmest regards,
Susanne

As I was putting the final touches to this book I was given the news that my amazing editor Charlotte was moving along her career pathway and would no longer be working with me. So this will be my final dedication to her and my last written recognition of her guidance, patience, much needed honesty and unwavering belief in my work. However, what I have learnt from her over the last five books will travel with me on my writing journey, so in many ways all of my books and writing success in the future will be a dedication to Charlotte Mursell.
Thank you, Charlotte.
