200 Harley Street. Lynne Marshall

of the dancing and the fun night ahead, while Leo looked at his bride and thought of the hours after the dancing and that part of the fun night ahead.

      ‘Happy?’ Leo asked, as they drove back to the hotel.

      ‘Very,’ Lizzie said. ‘You?’

      ‘Very,’ Leo said. ‘It’s nice to already know who I’m going to be getting off with tonight.’ He nodded to the door, where their reception was waiting. ‘Unlike most of that lot.’

      Oh, and there would be scandal, of course there would be scandal tonight—there were too many guests from 200 Harley Street for there not to be.

      ‘I was right,’ Leo said, giving her a kiss before they walked in.

      Lizzie looked up at him.

      ‘It is like Goldilocks.’

      ‘No.’ Lizzie shook her head. ‘She ran off at the end.’

      ‘What happened to Cinderella?’

      ‘She married her prince.’

      ‘Rapunzel?’

      ‘She lived happily ever after …’ Lizzie said. ‘I’m not Goldilocks.’

      ‘You are,’ Leo said, taking her hand. ‘When you ran into the woods a big lion chased you and caught you for life …’

      He wasn’t joking, though he sort of was, but Lizzie knew he had never been more serious in his life.

      ‘I’m rewriting the ending,’ Leo said. ‘If Goldilocks agrees?’

      She most certainly did.

       Dear Reader

      I’ve always loved the Medical Romance™ linked books. Long before I started to write for Mills & Boon^® I used to seek out every book in a series and read them from start to finish. There have been some great serials recently, set in Australia and the US, and I couldn’t wait until it was time to set a story in the UK again and I might get to be involved.

      Taking part in a series is great fun. I was asked about the kind of hero and heroine I would like and I requested a big Scottish hero who looked like Sawyer from Lost and a heroine with fake boobs! I was lucky—I got both my requests. Fake boobs are a general no-no in romance novels. If they are there at all they tend to belong to the villainess in the piece. So I was delighted to write about a heroine who, even though she might have been pressured initially, wasn’t embarrassed about the decision she’d made and was happy with her new shape.

      Mills & Boon^® are books that move with the times and reflect the modern women around them. I’m proud to be part of an up-to-date publisher!

       CHAPTER ONE

      LEXI TAPPED HER pink fingernails on the desk with impatience. The clinic was in complete darkness. All caused by a little ‘phoof’ when she’d tried to switch on the lights in one of the consulting rooms. If only she knew where the main trip switch was.

      She squinted at her watch, using the light from her phone. Just after eleven o’clock at night. Where was he? He had to be here somewhere—his car was parked just down the road. She’d already phoned the few members of staff that were currently in Drake’s wine bar and he wasn’t with them.

      She spun on her heel, a new determination causing her stomach to clench.

      ‘Iain McKenzie, you can run but you can’t hide.’

      He’d been avoiding her all day.

      She
