Rescued by the single mom

As a nurse and single mom, Izzy Halliday has her hands full. The last thing she needs is the distraction of a man—even one as irresistible as new hospital director Nicholas Macpherson!

Former army doc Mac has come to Wetherby to heal his soul—but the sparks flying between him and stunning redhead Izzy aren’t bringing him much peace! Mac is in search of a quiet life, but time with Izzy and her daughter soon teaches him the unexpected joys of a chaotic family life...

‘What’s the problem?’

‘Well, at the risk of sounding embarrassingly ridiculous, I’d like you to understand it’s just dinner...not a date.’

Mac’s eyes twinkled—and her stomach churned.

‘I don’t date, you see,’ Izzy added, hoping to stop the churning with practicality. ‘Well, not at the moment.’

‘So dinner...not a date. That’s okay.’

The smile playing around his words only added to the stomach-churning!

She sighed again, shrugged, and finally said, ‘I can’t be late home.’

And if he thought she hadn’t noticed the satisfied expression on his face as she finally agreed he was wrong.

Used to getting his own way, was he?

A sure sign this was a man to be wary of.

Dear Reader (#ulink_1d40b16a-760f-5e61-960b-59c6543148c8),

In this book you’ll meet Izzy, a foster child brought up by an extraordinary couple who have opened their home and their hearts to waifs and strays, fostering many children over a long period of time.

The house is quiet now, the children all grown up, though Izzy remains living in The Old Nunnery with her foster parents and daughter Nikki. But because of the love they received from their foster parents, Hallie and Pop Halliday, the children are all close, and in the next three books you’ll meet more of them—Lila, Stephen and Marty—and follow their lives and their loves as they meet the people who will help them create their own families.

These stories—Lila’s in particular—have been in my head for a long time, and somehow this seemed the right time to tell them. I hope you enjoy meeting ‘the Halliday Mob’, as they were always known around town, and following their lives as they seek families of their very own.

When my sister and brother-in-law discovered they were unable to have children they began adopting babies and fostering older children, eventually adopting six of them. The family they blended together became very special—not only to each other but to our wider family—and brought fun and joy and laughter to all our lives. This particular sister has been my greatest support as a writer, and the first reader of all my books, so to Jenny, and all her family, this book and those that follow it are for you.
