But can he heal her heart?
When surgeon Jude Slater volunteers for a post in Mwuranda, romance is the last thing on his mind! But something about his coworker Claire Morgan unleashes emotions he’s always strove to hide.
Claire can’t fall for any man until she deals with the event that haunts her and caused her escape to Africa. Yet Jude reawakens her wounded soul in ways she never thought possible. Is he the man to heal her? And in opening his heart to Claire, can Jude also heal himself?
‘About this morning, Claire... I’d hate to think that you might feel awkward around me...’
‘I don’t,’ she said quickly, not wanting to get into a discussion. Something told her that it would be the wrong thing to do when her emotions were in such turmoil. ‘You were trying to comfort me and I understand that.’
‘I was.’
He didn’t say anything else apart from wishing her goodnight. Claire switched off the lights after he’d left and made her way upstairs. She knew she should be relieved to know that Jude had merely been trying to comfort her, yet she couldn’t deny that her heart was aching as she got into bed. Maybe it was foolish, but she couldn’t help wishing that he had kissed her because he had wanted her, because he had desired her—because he simply hadn’t been able to help himself!
She pulled the sheet over her head, her cheeks burning. How crazy was that?
I planned this book several years ago but, as sometimes happens, life got in the way and I put it aside. However, the central characters never quite left me, and I knew that one day I would have to tell their story. At the end of last year the time was right, and Jude and Claire stepped out of my imagination and onto the page. And what a journey they took me on!
Bringing these two together at last was a real joy, even though I probably worked harder on this book than on any previous one! Although I said at the beginning that I had planned Jude and Claire’s story, that isn’t quite true. Oh, I knew the basics—who they were, what obstacles they needed to overcome—but that was it. I am not a planner; I wait to see how my characters want to ‘behave’ and this pair kept on surprising me. Suffice to say it was an emotional journey. I hope after reading this book you feel that they deserved their happy-ever-after. I did!
