About the author

I was born and raised in Dunedin, New Zealand, but had my first year of school in London, UK and the second in Washington DC. I became a primary school teacher and began writing when I was living in Glasgow, Scotland for two years and teachers were all on strike. My first novel was a medical thriller with a good dash of romance thrown in.
I have now written well over a hundred romance novels with more than a dash of medicine thrown in. I love weaving the emotional journey of a love story through the background drama the medical world can provide. I also love the rabbit holes I can go down in the name of research.
Above all, I love romance. And a happy ending!

[Jane Hunt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oreo, the therapy dog, steals the show in this medical romance. It's definitely a medical romance with lots of medical details and events, and it showcases the work of therapy dogs in a medical ethos well. The couple has believable internal conflicts, and the resolution of these is realistic. It's romantic, relatable, and engaged me enough to read in one sitting.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
