Found: A Father for Her Child »

Amy Andrews was the kind of child who always had a story in her head. English was her favorite subject at school and she loved to write. Trouble is, once she started it was hard to stop her. Her teachers would ask for 100 words on her pet and she'd write 1000. They'd say, "Write a page describing your holiday," and she'd write 10. Editing has been a real challenge for Amy!

When she was growing up, her mother was always banging away on a typewriter, writing her own romance novel. It seemed to Amy a perfectly normal thing to do, and it was only natural for her, years later, to begin writing one herself — after all, she'd been sneaking off with her Mum's romance novels from the age of 11.

Amy wrote her first romance in 10 days whilst temporarily out of work and freezing her butt off in her first English winter. Getting out of the warmth of her bed was not an option, so to fill in her time she wrote the book that had been in her head for years. One chapter a day, for 10 days! Needless to say it was rejected, although it is still how she tends to write to this day — a chapter in a sitting.

On her return to Australia, Amy discovered Medical romances and, as a nurse, started to read them out of professional interest. After reading one where a doctor gave a patient a bedpan, she was spurred to switch genres and have a go at writing a medical herself. Never in all her years of nursing had she met a doctor who had, or would even consider, giving a patient a bedpan!

In the "real world" Amy is a part-time Paediatric Intensive Care Nurse and mother of two. Her goal is to write 20 books by the time she's forty.

Carries Douglas can't take risks--she has her four-year-old daughter to take care of and her heart to protect. Her resolve is tested when her latest assignment puts her in the path of the gorgeously sexy and unconventional Dr. Charlie Wentworth, who spends every making hour caring for Brisbane's neediest citizens at his drop-in clinic.

Carrie is torn. Here is a man who would be a perfect husband and father, but she's been sent to assess the viability of his clinic. How can she tell Charlie her mission without destroying the trust and love growing between them--and her dream that they might one day become the family she has always longed for?
