Carol Marinelli recently filled in a form where she was asked for her job title, and was thrilled, after all these years, to be able to put down her answer as ‘writer’. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation, and after chewing her pen for a moment Carol put down the truth—writing. The third question asked—What are your hobbies? Well, not wanting to look obsessed—or, worse still, boring—she crossed the fingers on her free hand and answered ‘swimming and tennis’. But, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights, and the closest she’s got to a tennis racket in the last couple of years is watching the Australian Open, I’m sure you can guess the real answer!

Carol also writes for Medical™ Romance—her latest Medical™ Romance is emotional, dramatic, and stars a drop-dead gorgeous doctor! EMERGENCY: WIFE LOST AND FOUND On sale now!

THE DESERT KING’S HOUSEKEEPER BRIDE

Dear Reader

When I was growing up, rugby caused a few good-natured arguments in our family. My parents were born in Scotland and lived where their daughters were born in England. Which for me had its advantages when it was Scotland v England—I could never lose.

I cry easily, and the national anthems always set me off. It is such a huge part of the theatre of rugby—whether it’s the All Blacks doing the Haka, or the English crowd singing along to ‘God Save the Queen’ I get goosebumps every time.

When my dad suddenly died I raced home from Australia, where I now live, back to England. I can remember just before it was time for me to return to Australia going to the police club, where my dad had been a proud member, and as we walked in the Scottish Rugby Team were there—loud and proud on the large television screen, singing the national anthem at the (then) Five Nations Series. We were all trying not to look at each other in case we really started crying, but my brother-in-law finally spoke and said, ‘This isn’t just a coincidence.’

So—rugby still gives me goosebumps, and I still love to watch. And I still cheer for either England or Scotland—only now both Australia and Italy have been added to the mix.

No wonder I love it—I almost can’t lose!

Happy reading
