Mills & Boon are proud to present a thrilling digital collection of all Sharon Kendrick’s novels and novellas for us to celebrate the publication of her amazing 100th book! Many of these books are available as e books for the first time.The new nurse to tempt himClaire Scott’s heart was in her mouth as she watched the impossibly capable hands of Dr Luke Hayward manage a medical emergency in the street. Suddenly the endless photo shoots and gossiping models that surrounded her young career faded into insignificance and her mind was made. The moment she turned eighteen Claire would train as a nurse.When Claire arrives at St Antony’s, Luke is surprised. But no matter how much the incredible beauty of his new nurse might tempt him, Luke cannot act on his desire… for senior doctors must not fraternise with the juniors!

He lifted her chin and looked down at her. ‘I’ve had a wonderful evening, Claire. I want you to know that this past month has been one of the happiest times of my life.’

She waited to hear the rest, wondering why it sounded awfully like a dismissal.

‘And of course we’ll carry on seeing each other, though it’s not going to be easy—with your hours and my being on call so much.’

‘I know.’ She gazed at Luke’s mesmeric eyes, so grey tonight, wanting to lock the memory of them firmly away for ever.

‘I want you to know . . .’ his voice faltered a little. ‘You mean so much to me, Claire, but . . .’

‘Luke . . .’

He shushed her gently. ‘Listen, my darling. You’re still so very young. You’ve your whole life in front of you, and it has only been a month. We must neither of us make any promises which we may not be able to keep. Do you understand?’

Claire nodded numbly.

Dear Reader (#uadb72549-864e-5f59-a46c-07048f2c5c23),

One hundred. Doesn’t matter how many times I say it, I still can’t believe that’s how many books I’ve written. It’s a fabulous feeling but more fabulous still is the news that Mills & Boon are issuing every single one of my backlist as digital titles. Wow. I can’t wait to share all my stories with you - which are as vivid to me now as when I wrote them.

There’s BOUGHT FOR HER HUSBAND, with its outrageously macho Greek hero and A SCANDAL, A SECRET AND A BABY featuring a very sexy Tuscan. THE SHEIKH’S HEIR proved so popular with readers that it spent two weeks on the USA Today charts and…well, I could go on, but I’ll leave you to discover them for yourselves.

I remember the first line of my very first book: “So you’ve come to Australia looking for a husband?” Actually, the heroine had gone to Australia to escape men, but guess what? She found a husband all the same! The man who inspired that book rang me up recently and when I told him I was beginning my 100th story and couldn’t decide what to write, he said, “Why don’t you go back to where it all started?”

So I did. And that’s how A ROYAL VOW OF CONVENIENCE was born. It opens in beautiful Queensland and moves to England and New York. It’s about a runaway princess and the enigmatic billionaire who is infuriated by her, yet who winds up rescuing her. But then, she goes and rescues him… Wouldn’t you know it?

I’ll end by saying how very grateful I am to have a career I love, and to thank each and every one of you who has supported me along the way. You really are very dear readers.

Love,
