AMY ANDREWS has always loved writing, and still can’t quite believe that she gets to do it for a living. Creating wonderful heroines and gorgeous heroes and telling their stories is an amazing way to pass the day. Sometimes they don’t always act as she’d like them to—but then neither do her kids, so she’s kind of used to it. Amy lives in the very beautiful Samford Valley, with her husband and aforementioned children, along with six brown chooks and two black dogs. She loves to hear from her readers.

This is the first book I’ve written where my hero is a nurse. I’ve been toying with doing it for a long time, but I didn’t really have a scenario in my head until recently. Then I saw ex-military triage nurse Gareth in my mind’s eye and knew I had my hero.
He’s tough and strong and self-reliant, but after thirty doctor/paramedic heroes I thought I’d meet resistance from my editor over Gareth being a nurse and Billie, the heroine, being a doctor. Not the case, however. I was given free rein to bring their story to life and I’m so grateful—because Gareth is just the hero that Billie needs: supportive when required, but challenging her to be the person she is … not the person others want her to be. And Billie is just the woman Gareth needs—dragging him back into the world of the living. Helping him live, laugh and love again. Showing him that there is another life for him.
Both of them have pasts that make going ahead with the future complicated. Both of them are facing demons. But that is the beauty and power of love. And for Gareth and Billie falling hard is inevitable.
I hope you enjoy their journey.
Love
Amy

GARETH STAPLETON DROPPED his head from side to side, stretching out his traps as he kept his eyes on the road.
He was getting too old for this crap.
It had been a long, crazy shift in the emergency room and he needed a beer, a shower and his bed.
Saturday nights in a busy Brisbane ER were chaotic at the best of times but the full moon had added an extra shot of the bizarre to the mix. From now on he was consulting astrological charts when requesting his roster.
He yawned and looked at the dash clock—almost midnight—and was grateful for his shift ending when it had. The waiting room had still been full as he’d clocked off and he didn’t envy the night shift having to deal with it all.
Suddenly, the car in front of him—a taxi—swerved slightly into the opposite lane and Gareth’s pulse spiked.
