Several years ago Josie Metcalfe had a blood transfusion during an operation and went into anaphylactic shock. Afterwards, she discovered that she could no longer read. When her husband came home with a bag full of Mills & Boons it took a solid month of blood, sweat, and tears to finish reading the first one, but by the time she was fit to work again she had read them all and was hooked. Then her husband nudged her into action by daring her to write them, too! And the rest is history!

Surgeon Zayed Khalil is formidable, yet scarred. The only solace he finds is in his work. He's dedicated, professional and brilliant. And he's come to Penhally Bay to set up a specialist children's until at St. Piran Hospital.

Could this beautiful young doctor be the woman to show him how to live again, even love again?
