      Kate Hardy is the winner of the Romantic Novelists’ Association Romance Prize 2008 for her Modern Heat™ novel BREAKFAST AT GIOVANNI’S.

      Kate Hardy lives in Norwich, in the east of England, with her husband, two young children, one bouncy spaniel, and too many books to count! When she’s not busy writing romance or researching local history, she helps out at her children’s schools. She also loves cooking—spot the recipes sneaked into her books! (They’re also on her website, along with extracts and stories behind the books.) Writing for Mills & Boon has been a dream come true for Kate—something she wanted to do ever since she was twelve. She’s been writing Medical™ Romances for nearly five years now, and also writes for Modern Heat™. She says it’s the best of both worlds, because she gets to learn lots of new things when she’s researching the background to a book: add a touch of passion, drama and danger, a new gorgeous hero every time, and it’s the perfect job!

      Kate’s always delighted to hear from readers, so do drop in to her website at www.katehardy.com

       Dear Reader

       Sometimes you really, really fall in love with a hero. And I fell head over heels for Rhys. Firstly, he’s a fabulous doctor—caring, gentle, and very good at what he does. Secondly, he has the most gorgeous voice. And thirdly, he understands Katrina’s hearing problem—he rescues her when she needs it, just as my husband rescues me when I haven’t caught what someone has said.

      I also fell for Katrina’s family—because they remind me of mine! The kind of people who’ll celebrate the good times with you and always be there for you in the bad: the kind of family my hero Rhys has never had, but definitely deserves.

      As I was writing the wedding scene, I was privileged to attend a special family wedding (my daughter was the flower girl). It was in a beautiful little country church, and I couldn’t resist borrowing both the wedding cake and the weather from the day! That’s why I’ve dedicated this book to my cousin Lee and his lovely bride Lucy, with congratulations and lots of love.

      I’m always delighted to hear from readers, so do come and visit me at www.katehardy.com

      With love

      CHAPTER ONE

      ‘WELCOME back.’ Lynne greeted Katrina with a broad smile. ‘So how was Italy?’

      ‘Fabulous. Italy in late September is just perfect. It’s my new favourite place in the world,’ Katrina said. ‘Pompeii was stunning. And the Blue Grotto. And…’ She laughed. ‘That isn’t what you really want to know, is it? Yes, I brought Italian biscuits back for the ward. Seriously nice ones.’ She dangled a carrier bag in front of the charge nurse. ‘A big tin of them.’

      ‘Good girl.’ Lynne patted her on the back. ‘Just what we all wanted to hear. Though I’m glad you had a good time on holiday.’

      ‘How’s Sadie doing?’ Katrina asked, walking with Lynne to the kitchen and placing the biscuit tin on the worktop along with a note saying, Help yourself, with love from Kat.

      ‘Fine. Though she’s been missing your stories and wants to know when Doc-a-rina’s coming back.’
