Christmas With The Single Dad. Louisa Heaton

      ‘Well...maybe I’ll see you later, then?’

      He nodded. ‘Yes. Goodbye, Sydney.’

      And then, with some hesitation, Nathan leaned in and kissed the side of her face.

      She sucked in a breath. His lips had only brushed her cheek, and had been gone again before she could truly appreciate it, but for the millisecond he’d made contact her body had almost imploded. Her heart had threatened to jump out of her chest. Her face must have looked as red as a stop sign.

      She watched him turn and walk across the road to his place of work and stood there, breathing heavily, her fingers pressed to her face where his lips had been, and wondered what on earth she was doing.

      With this friendship with Dr. Nathan Jones.

Dear Reader,

      Parenthood is not an easy thing. None of us is really experienced when we go home with that newborn baby in our arms, no matter how many nieces, nephews, cousins or younger siblings we might have cared for. Looking after your own child is completely different, and we can only hope we’ll muddle through and know what we’re doing.

      Sydney Harper, my veterinary surgeon heroine, is a mother without a child, desperately trying to get through the days, and my hero doctor, Nathan Jones, is having to be both mother and father to his daughter whilst fighting the knowledge that he has a medical condition that could possibly make their lives even harder.

      Being a parent with a chronic medical condition is hard. I know this from personal experience. But the reserves of strength you draw on, knowing that you have to get through each day for the sake of your children, is as strong as your intense love for them, and you’ll do anything not to let them down. We see this in Nathan, and it’s the kind of strength that Sydney needs in her life. She is pulled to Nathan like a moth to a sea of flame.

      I hope you’ll enjoy their story, and that if you have children you’ll give them an extra-big hug before they go to sleep.

      Happy reading!
