MEDITERRANEAN DOCTORS
Passionate about life, love and medicine
Dear Reader,
My husband and I love to travel, so when I came up with the idea of writing two books about twin sisters it seemed the perfect opportunity to use two of our very favorite places as settings for the stories. Bill and I spent our honeymoon in Sardinia, so that had to be one of the places I chose. Then last year we went to Cyprus for our wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time there, so I chose that as the second location. We’ve had great fun looking through all the photographs together.
Katie and Kelly Carlyon have a lot in common along with being twins. They both work in the world of medicine and have both fallen in love with men who live on the Mediterranean islands. While Katie flies to Cyprus to be with the man she loves, Kelly moves to Sardinia to forget about the man who has broken her heart. However, as they soon discover, life doesn’t always work out the way you hope it will!
I really enjoyed writing the two books in this miniseries, and I hope you’ll enjoy them, too. You can read Katie’s story in Dr. Constantine’s Bride. Kelly’s story will be published later this year, so do look out for it.
Love,
Jennifer

PROLOGUE
‘I AM REALLY going to miss you!’
Katie Carlyon hugged her twin sister Kelly. Now that the time had come for them to part, she was feeling extremely emotional. They had never been separated for any length of time before and it was going to take some getting used to.
‘I’m going to miss you too, but it’s all in a good cause.’ Kelly hugged her back, her green eyes sparkling with laughter. ‘Admit it, Katie, you’re dying to see Petros again, aren’t you?’
‘Yes, I am.’
Katie laughed, hoping her sister couldn’t tell how uneasy she felt. She still hadn’t heard from Petros. He hadn’t phoned her or replied to the numerous text messages she’d sent him in the past few days. They hadn’t spoken, in fact, since she’d told him what time her flight was due to land. She understood how busy he must be in work, but surely he could have found the time for a brief phone call?
‘Ah, love’s young dream.’ Kelly chuckled. ‘It makes you feel all warm and tingly inside.’
‘Just you wait, Kelly Carlyon,’ Katie threatened. She certainly didn’t intend to worry her sister when they were both on the verge of starting a new life. Petros had told her that he loved her many times and there was no reason to doubt him. ‘I’ll get my own back when you fall head over heels in love!’
‘You’ll have a long wait because it’s never going to happen. I’ve had my fill of romance, thank you very much.’
Katie was about to protest but at that moment her flight was called. She hugged her sister again then picked up her bag. ‘I’ll text you as soon as I get there. Take care.’
Katie hurried to the security desk and showed her boarding pass then made her way to the departure gate. It was the beginning of May and there were a lot of people going away on holiday. Cyprus was a popular destination and the flight was full; she had to wait until her row was called before she could board the plane.
Twenty minutes later the plane took off and she watched as England disappeared under a veil of clouds. In four hours’ time she would begin a new life with the man she loved. It was a big step, but she was sure it was what she wanted to do. She wanted to be with Petros for ever more.
CHAPTER ONE
WHERE was he?
Katie could feel her heart thumping as she keyed in the phone number of the hospital. There’d been no sign of Petros at the airport when her plane had landed. She had been waiting for over an hour now and he still hadn’t turned up. She had tried his mobile phone several times but it was switched off. The only thing she could think of was to phone him at work.
‘Poseidonos International Hospital. Kalimera.’
‘I wish to speak to Dr Constantine, please,’ Katie explained as calmly as she could. She waited while her call was put through, praying that Petros would be there. Although he had told her about the villa he owned in the coastal town of Paphos, she had no real idea of its location and wouldn’t attempt to make her own way there. If she couldn’t get in contact with him then she didn’t know what she was going to do…
‘Dr Constantine.’
The man’s voice cut through her mounting panic and she heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Petros, it’s me—Katie. Oh, I am so glad to hear your voice!’
‘I’m sorry, but there has been a mistake. My name is Christos Constantine.’
‘Oh, excuse me,’ Katie said hastily. ‘I didn’t realise there were two doctors by the name of Constantine on the staff. It’s Petros I want to speak to. Would you be kind enough to have my call transferred? My name is Carlyon—Katie Carlyon.’
