—CataRomance on The Surgeon’s Christmas Wish

“Can’t remember or can’t think straight?” a male voice asked from behind her.

Ali froze. She knew that voice. It had whispered deliciously naughty intentions into her ear not so very long ago.

Her eyes moved along the ground from where she knelt with Chris, her breath caught tight in her chest. Blood began to thunder between her ears as a pair of leather shoes came into view and walked to the opposite side of Chris. It was all she could do not to cry out as the owner of the shoes came into view as he kneeled across from her. Oh, she knew him, all right. She knew him intimately. And she didn’t know him at all.

As their eyes met Ali physically felt the breath being sucked out of her body.

The Suit.

Images flickered past her mind’s eye of their bodies tangled together in a series of sexual acrobatics she’d never believed possible. A wash of pleasure rippled through her and it was all she could do to keep her jaw clamped firmly shut.

She’d never asked him his real name. Nor had he of her. That had been their deal. One night only.

Dear Reader (#ulink_7dd30373-dc27-5dac-8bef-d42833cabc52),

This book was a real crackerjack for me, and an absolute hoot to write. A book full of muscly rugby players and a dreamboat of a team doc? Woo-hoo!

I am a big rugby fan—not that I know any of the teams or players or rules … I just love the dedication and commitment the players show to the game—and they’re respectful to boot. Just like the perfect hero.

Ali is a great heroine—I really, really like her a lot. Mostly because she was inspired by a wonderful choreographer I know here in the South East of England. She is a fireball, and has met her match in Aidan.

I hope you enjoy reading this book—and I promise there are no horrid scenes that make you feel you need to drop and give anyone twenty of anything! It’s just pure indulgence.

Enjoy!

ANNIE O’NEIL spent most of her childhood with her leg draped over the family rocking chair and a book in her hand. Novels, baking and writing too much teenage angst poetry ate up most of her youth. Now Annie splits her time between corralling her husband into helping her with their cows, baking, reading, barrel racing (not really!) and spending some very happy hours at her computer, writing.

This book is for my former editor, Charlotte Mursell, who first brought me on board with Mills & Boon and helped fine-tune me into the work in progress I am today … (which is better than when she got me). This was the final book we worked on together and she was pure inspiration. I was a lucky gal to have begun my writing career with her. Thank you, Charlotte!!! Annie X
