Читать книгу A Baby for Eve - Maggie Kingsley - Страница 3

Maggie Kingsley says she can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to be a writer, but she put her dream on hold and decided to ‘be sensible’ and become a teacher instead. Five years at the chalk face was enough to convince her she wasn’t cut out for it, and she ‘escaped’ to work for a major charity. Unfortunately—or fortunately!—a back injury ended her career, and when she and her family moved to a remote cottage in the north of Scotland it was her family who nagged her into attempting to make her dream a reality. Combining a love of romantic fiction with a knowledge of medicine gleaned from the many professionals in her family, Maggie says she can’t now imagine ever being able to have so much fun legally doing anything else!

Dear Reader

When my editor phoned to ask if I’d like to take part in an exciting new Medical™ Romance series called Brides of Penhally Bay, I said, ‘Ummm…who, or what, is Penhally?’ The minute she told me about the fictitious Cornish town I was interested. Then, when she told me the names of the other authors who would be taking part, I was hooked. But it was when she told me in what way she’d like me to contribute I knew I would never be able to say no.

There was Tom Cornish, for a start. On the surface this man has it all. Good-looks, a high-powered job as head of operations at the worldwide rescue team of Deltaron, and the complete dedication of his team. But does Tom really have it all? And what about Eve? She and Tom haven’t seen each other in twenty years, and she’s now a dedicated, responsible nurse, a pillar of the community. But she has a secret. A secret which will rock Tom on his heels and change both his and Eve’s life for ever.

I confess I grew to love both these characters. They got into my head, and into my heart, and when I finally said goodbye to them it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. They’d become friends. People I’d both laughed with and cried with. People I desperately wanted to help. And one of the joys for me as a writer has been that all the writers who contributed to the series had the same aim. We all wanted to create something really special to commemorate Mills & Boon’s one hundredth birthday. I think we succeeded with the Penhally series, and I hope you do, too!

Best wishes

Maggie
