Welcome to Paradise!
Meet the small but dedicated team of medics who service the remote Pacific Wildfire Island.
In this idyllic setting relationships are rekindled, passions are stirred, and bonds that will last a lifetime are forged in the tropical heat …
But there’s also a darker side to paradise—secrets, lies and greed amidst the Lockhart family threaten the community, and the team find themselves fighting to save more than the lives of their patients. They must band together to fight for the future of the island they’ve all come to call home!

Wildfire Island is my dream destination—a tropical paradise where all things are possible. Our island is breathtakingly beautiful, its weather wonderful one day, perfect the next. I close my eyes and imagine myself soaking up the sun as I float by the waterfall feeding the freshwater lagoon, preferably holding a drink with a wee umbrella.
Of course all tropical paradises have their bad days, and that’s what happens in Saving Maddie’s Baby. Maddie starts off with a very bad day. But this is Wildfire Island, where romance is always in the air—even if my hero Josh has to put himself in mortal danger to find it.
Saving Maddie’s Baby is Book Three of the six-book Wildfire Island Docs series, written with my fabulous fellow authors Alison Roberts and Meredith Webber. We’ve had a lot of fun indulging ourselves in our Wildfire Island fantasy. I hope you have the same fun reading them.

HEROES AND HEROINES don’t choose to be brave, Maddie decided. Mostly they have bravery thrust upon them. In her particular case, a heroine was created when vast chunks of rock trapped one doctor in an underground mine, a mine she should never have been near in the first place.
This heroine wasn’t brave. This heroine was stupid.
Everyone knew the mine was dangerous. Ian Lockhart, the owner, had left Wildfire Island weeks ago, with salaries unpaid and debts outstanding. The mine had been closed for non-compliance with safety standards not long after Ian’s disappearance.
So whose bright idea had it been to see if they could tap one of the seams close to the surface?
There were reasons this seam hadn’t been tapped before. The rock was brittle. Without salaries, though, and desperate for income, the islanders had cut through the fence and quietly burrowed. No one was supposed to know.
But
