       Praise for Carol Marinelli

      ‘A well written, enjoyable medical romance. With lovable characters and an interesting plot line, this book makes me even more excited for the upcoming books in 200 Harley Street.’

      —Harlequin Junkie on 200 Harley Street: Surgeon in a Tux

      ‘A compelling, sensual, sexy, emotionally packed, drama-filled read that will leave you begging for more!’

      —Contemporary Romance Reviews on NYC Angels: Redeeming the Playboy

       Scarlet felt the heat of his palms caress her cheeks and then his mouth was soft on hers and he kissed her. Oh, how their mouths needed each other … It was a soft morning kiss and because of it, Scarlet knew, she would float better through the day.

      She kissed him back, feeling again the lips she missed, and so gentle and unexpected was he that Scarlet felt tears sting in her eyes.

      But it was just a kiss and neither pushed for more.

      ‘Look at me,’ Luke said, still holding her face, yet she would not meet his eyes.

      ‘I can’t.’

      ‘You can …’

      But she couldn’t. Not after what had happened.

      Dear Reader,

      Luke and Scarlet surprised me all the time as I wrote their story.

      Sometimes I wondered how they would get to their happy ending. This couple had so much to work through, and yet every time I doubted they could Luke stepped in and reassured me that he knew where they were headed.

      I love a hero who is one step ahead—not just of the heroine but also the author!—and Luke has the calm assuredness that I felt Scarlet needed. I do believe in love at first sight, and their story confirmed that for me.

      Happy reading!

      CAROL MARINELLI recently filled in a form asking for her job title. Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put ‘writer’. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation and she put down the truth—’writing’. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not wanting to look obsessed, she crossed the fingers on her left hand and answered ‘swimming’. But, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights, I’m sure you can guess the real answer …
