SCARLET WILSON wrote her first story aged eight and has never stopped. Her family have fond memories of Shirley and the Magic Purse, with its army of mice all with names beginning with the letter ‘M’. An avid reader, Scarlet started with every Enid Blyton book, moved on to the Chalet School series and many years later found Mills & Boon
.
She trained and worked as a nurse and health visitor, and currently works in public health. For her, finding Mills & Boon
Medical Romance™ was a match made in heaven. She is delighted to find herself among the authors she has read for many years.
Scarlet lives on the West Coast of Scotland with her fiancé and their two sons.
Born and raised on the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario, AMY RUTTAN fled the big city to settle down with the country boy of her dreams. When she’s not furiously typing away at her computer she’s mom to three wonderful children, who have given her another job as a taxi driver.
A voracious reader, she was given her first romance novel by her grandmother, who shared her penchant for a hot romance. From that moment Amy was hooked by the magical worlds, handsome heroes and sigh-worthy romances contained in the pages, and she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up.
Life got in the way, but after the birth of her second child she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a romance author.
Amy loves to hear from readers. It makes her day, in fact. You can find out more about Amy at her website: amyruttan.com (http://amyruttan.com)

Dear Reader (#u59449999-73ff-5894-88e0-9cfa45b078a7),
What could be worse than being stranded on an island with your ex?
The short answer is—not much! But that’s what happens to Rachel Johnson and Nathan Banks.
They parted company eight years before, and there’s a lot for them to get through before they can finally reach their happy-ever-after.
I had great fun writing this book. Rachel and Nathan have the pleasure of being the medical crew on a fictional TV show. Both of them are doing a favour for a mutual friend who hasn’t let either of them know the other is going to be there. Sparks certainly fly!
I love to hear from readers. You can find me at scarlet-wilson.com (http://scarlet-wilson.com), on Facebook, and on Twitter as @scarlet_wilson
Hope you enjoy!
Scarlet
For Cathy McAuliffe, Catherine Bain and Shirley Bain with lots of love for the women who manage to put up with all these Bain boys!
