‘Kylie, there’s a sizzling attraction between us. Why are you pretending it doesn’t exist?’
She sucked in a harsh breath and tugged against Seth’s hand. ‘Don’t,’ she said softly. ‘Don’t do this.’
‘Do what?’
‘Make me fall for you.’
The seriousness of her tone made him drop her arm and take a step back. ‘Okay, that’s fine. Neither one of us is looking for a longterm relationship. Does that mean we can’t have any fun?’
Dear Reader
Welcome to Cedar Bluff Hospital, located in a small Wisconsin town overlooking the beautiful rocky shores of Lake Michigan. MARRYING THE PLAYBOY DOCTOR is the first book in my new mini-series, and I really hope you enjoy reading about Seth and Kylie as much as I enjoyed writing about them.
Working as an emergency department physician, Seth Taylor sees first-hand how life is too short. Anything can happen, at any time, so his motto is to live life to the fullest. He likes fast cars and playing the field with women. Settling down in a serious relationship isn’t a part of his plan—until he meets paramedic and single mum Kylie Germaine and her six-year-old son Ben.
Kylie has been burned by Ben’s father, who refused to stick around to help raise their son, so learning to trust Seth isn’t easy. But soon she’s forced to accept Seth’s help with Ben. Can Kylie convince Seth that life isn’t worth living without love?
I hope you enjoy MARRYING THE PLAYBOY DOCTOR, and look for the next two books in my Cedar Bluff Hospital series, coming out in November and December.
Happy Reading!

Laura Iding loved reading as a child, and when she ran out of books she readily made up her own, completing a little detective mini-series when she was twelve. But, despite her aspirations for being an author, her parents insisted she look into a ‘real’ career. So the summer after she turned thirteen she volunteered as a Candy Striper, and fell in love with nursing. Now, after twenty years of experience in trauma/critical care, she’s thrilled to combine her career and her hobby into one—writing Medical™ Romances for Mills & Boon. Laura lives in the northern part of the United States, and spends all her spare time with her two teenage kids (help!)—a daughter and a son—and her husband. Enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE
LIFE was too short.
Dr. Seth Taylor grimly watched the patient being rolled into trauma bay number two. From the paramedic report, he saw the woman on the gurney was only fiftyseven—the same age his mother had been when she’d unexpectedly died six months ago.
Ignoring the knot in his stomach, he stepped forward to take charge of the resuscitation.
“Hold CPR. What’s her underlying rhythm?”
