Best Friend To Husband?

Were they always meant to be?

GP Lorna has spent years healing from a divorce and the end of her fertility journey by throwing herself into her work at Clearbrook Medical Practice. But when Oliver — her one-time best friend and secret crush — takes a job as a doctor at her surgery, life suddenly becomes more complicated! After the breakdown of his difficult marriage, Oliver isn’t looking for romance either. Yet old feelings soon begin to resurge. Can they risk their friendship in the hope of something more?

Finding A Family Next Door

Is love closer than she thinks?

GP Bella Nightingale needs a fresh start for herself and her little boy in the wake of a cheating ex. On her first day at Clearbrook Medical Practice, she discovers that her gorgeous colleague Dr Max Moore is also a single parent — and her new neighbour! No stranger to loss, Max is as afraid of being hurt again as Bella, but the attraction between them is undeniable. Should they play it safe and avoid heartache, or could two and two make a perfect family of four?

About the Author

I'm a married mother of four (including a set of twins) and I live on an island in Hampshire. When not wrangling my children, husband or countless animals, I can often be found walking along the beach muttering to myself, as I work out plot points. In my spare time, I read a lot, quilt and patchwork, usually when I ought to be doing something else.
