Gold Coast Angels: Two Tiny Heartbeats
Fiona McArthur

Pregnant – with twins! Only this isn’t a patient, but midwife Lucy Palmer herself – and on her first day!Worse, it took gorgeous Greek obstetrician Nikolai Kefes to suggest she had a pregnancy test and scan. Now Lucy must focus on her babies – and ignore her attraction to the hunky, emotionally unavailable Nick… !

Dear Reader

I’ve loved being a part of the Gold Coast Angels series, and can’t wait to catch up with all the amazing people who work there.

My heroine, Lucy, is ready to take on the world. She’s a dedicated midwife, of course, and loves her job—until she finds out she is going to be a single mother with twins.

Without support of family, Lucy would be finding it even tougher without the warmth and caring of her work friends—and that’s where Gold Coast City Hospital comes into its own.

But it’s gorgeous Dr Nikolai Kefes who really takes her under his gorgeous wing (those shoulders…!), and Lucy discovers that she’s not the only person who has someone special missing in her life. Can she heal Nikolai’s past hurts and make this wonderfully caring doctor love again?

I hope you have as much fun as I did with Nick and Lucy’s love life—enjoy the Gold Coast Angels series.

Warmest wishes

Fiona McArthur

CHAPTER ONE (#uc8cb3156-19c4-52df-9071-780206a9a837)

LUCY PALMER WAS so excited even the ride up in the lift made her feel queasy. She’d thought she’d grown out of that.

Today, officially, she could say she was a part of the state-of-the-art Gold Coast City Hospital and she’d done it all herself. Her excitement had been building since graduation fourteen weeks ago.

This wasn’t just three years of hard study and unpaid practical placements, this was the start of a mission she’d lived and breathed for ever.

Lucy couldn’t wait to be allocated her first birth suite caseload because she was going to be the best midwifery grad they’d ever seen.

The midwifery floor manager, Flora May, ex-air force medic with a gruff voice and, Lucy suspected, a well-camouflaged heart of gold, had met Lucy in one of her placements during her training. Flora’s assessment of Lucy’s aptitude for the profession had helped very much in her successful interview and Lucy couldn’t have asked for a better role model than Flora.

As the orientation tour ended Flora snapped her heels together and waved to the busy floor. Unexpectedly her angular face changed and she smiled with genuine warmth.

‘And welcome, Palmer. I’ve given you Monday to Friday shifts for the first month, so I’ll be here if you need advice.’

A friendly face while she settled in. Lucy decided that sounded blissful. ‘Thank you.’

‘Hmph.’ Sentiment should be set aside, obviously, Lucy thought with an internal smile as Flora went on. ‘Take Sally Smith, she’s a teen mum admitted for threatened premature labour at thirty-three weeks. She needs someone she can relate to.’

This was accompanied by a dry look. ‘Night staff will give you Sally’s handover in birth suite one.’ Flora raised an eyebrow. ‘You’ll be fine. Let me know if you need help and I’ll be your wing man. Any questions, find me.’
