New beginnings?
Moving to the Dales is all about a fresh start for Dr. Elliot Grey, until he meets feisty—and beautiful—midwife Polly Davies. Not since his ex-wife abandoned him and their son has Elliot had such a strong reaction to a woman!
A relationship is the last thing he needs, yet there’s something special about Polly. Maybe it’s the way she’s bonded with his son, or that the pain of his past fades in her presence, but one thing is certain—he’s struggling to find reasons to stay away!
‘Is everything all right?’
Elliot jumped, his heart racing when he discovered that Polly was bending down beside the open window. Before he could stop himself he found himself taking rapid stock of large hazel eyes, a straight little nose, and a perfectly curved Cupid’s bow mouth. His racing heart raced a bit faster. He hadn’t noticed it before, but all of a sudden he realised how attractive she was...
‘Are you sure you’re OK?’
A slim hand reached out to close around his arm and Elliot flinched. It wasn’t her touch per se, but the effect it had on him. Heat poured through his veins, so that all of a sudden it felt as though he was on fire. What the hell was going on? Why was he burning up because this woman had touched him? It certainly fell beyond the range of rational explanation. All he could do was pray it would stop—and stop soon. Stop before the damage became permanent.
Panic rose inside him, adding to the conflagration. He didn’t want to respond to her this way—didn’t want to start yearning for things he had sworn he didn’t need. He wanted his life to remain exactly the same as it had been for the past eight years. And yet he had a feeling that it was already too late—that what had happened today had changed things… changed him. He took a deep breath as his vision swam. Today was going to affect his whole future, and there wasn’t a thing he could do about it!
I love writing a series of books, as it gives me the chance to revisit some favourite characters as well as create new ones. I couldn’t wait to start my second book in The Larches Practice series because I had two wonderful new characters in mind.
Community midwife Polly Davies loves her job—and the mums who come under her care love her as well. She is kind and caring, and she definitely doesn’t deserve to be jilted on her wedding day! When she meets paediatric surgeon Elliot Grey she finds him cold and aloof. She doesn’t take to him at all—until she realises that he has a softer side he deliberately chooses to keep hidden.
Elliot was deeply hurt by the break-up of his marriage and has never really got over it. He has devoted his life since then to his work, and to caring for his handicapped son Joseph. Although Polly is still reeling from the shock of her wedding being called off, she finds herself drawn to this enigmatic man. Can she make him see that he is wrong to push people away and that he deserves to be happy?
Bringing Polly and Elliot together was a challenge. Elliot was determined to guard his emotions—even from me! I hope you enjoy their story and feel, as I do, that they deserve their happy ending.
Love,
Jennifer
