A fresh start in the outback...
When Dr. Mitch Reynolds lost his wife, he blamed himself and turned his back on medicine. He keeps his three children close but the world at a distance. But then Rose Anderson walks into his life...
Teacher Rose always dreamed of falling in love, but after an illness left her scarred, her dreams feel further away than ever. Yet helping Mitchâs little family become whole again gives her the chance to belong and the prospect of being loved...just as she is.
Iâm so pleased to finally give you Roseâs storyâthe third in my Tempted & Tamed miniseries. Many of you wrote to me after reading the first two books asking me to write Roseâs story. It was always my intention to do that, although it has taken a little longer than I planned! But I think itâs worked out well. Rose had plenty of obstacles to overcome, she needed some time before she was ready to fall in love. I also needed time to find her the perfect man, and I hope I have done that with Mitch.
Rose is the youngest of the three Anderson sistersâScarlett, Ruby and Roseâand the last one to find her happily-ever-after. If you missed the first two books, you can read about Scarlett and Ruby in A Doctor by Day... and Tamed by the Renegade.
If you have a chance to read all three books, Iâd love to know if youâve enjoyed themâand did you have a favorite? Drop me a line at [email protected].
Until then,
happy reading,
Emily

A SCREAM SPLIT the air, cleaving through the thick muggy silence that suffocated the land.
Mitch recognised the sound and it sent a shiver of fear down his spine.
The hairs on the back of his neck rose up and the wrench fell from his hand as he sprinted from the shed.
He was halfway to the horse yards before the scream ended and the silence that followed stabbed at his heart. Heâd never known silence to be so terrifying. It was ominous. After thirty-nine years he knew trouble when he heard it.
The sound of his boots as they slapped the dirt echoed across the ground and the pounding of his feet imitated the pounding of his heart, which had lodged somewhere in his throat. He listened for more noise, another sound, anything, as he ran. Anything would be better than the oppressive silence.
Time stood still. Red dust flew from under his boots but it might as well have been quicksand. The horse yards werenât getting any closer.
He rounded the corner of the staff quarters and almost collided with his six-year-old son.
âDad, Dad, come quick! Itâs Lila.â Jed grabbed Mitchâs hand but Mitch didnât slow his pace and his hand pulled out of his sonâs grasp. He still didnât stop. Heâd make better time alone. He kept running, knowing Jed would follow.
He had to get to Lila. He had to get to his daughter.
He skidded into the horse yards and felt Jed come to a stop beside him. He scanned the enclosures, searching for his two other children.
Charlie was standing still. He was holding Ruff, their Australian terrier, in his arms. The little dog was squirming and wriggling, desperate to get down. Ruff wasnât supposed to be anywhere near the horse yards but Mitch didnât have time to think about that now.
His daughter lay flat on her back on the hard, red ground. Her face was ashen and she lay as still as a corpse, her eyes open. His heart was lodged firmly in his throat now and he fought to breathe. The air was thick and muggy, choking him as he tried to force it into his lungs. Heâd already lost one daughter. He couldnât lose Lila too. His children were all he had left.
And then he saw her chest move. Rising and falling as she breathed.
She was alive.
The lump in his throat dislodged and he sucked in a breath.
Ginny was kneeling over her and Mitch crouched in the dirt beside her.
âLila!â
He wanted to gather her into his arms, to pick her up and carry her away, but he didnât dare move her. He knew it wasnât safe.
His daughterâs lips were parted, her eyes huge and dark in her pale face. They brimmed with tears and her bottom lip wobbled.
âIt hurts.â
Mitch could hear the catch in her voice and it was almost more than he could bear. âWhere?â
