But now Mills & Boon>® Medical⢠Romance is giving readers the unique opportunity to visit this fi ctional coastal town through our brand-new twelve-book continuity⦠You are welcomed to a town where the fi shing boats bob up and down in the bay, surfers wait expectantly for the waves, friendly faces line the cobbled streets and romance flutters on the Cornish sea breezeâ¦
We introduce you to Penhally Bay Surgery, where you can meet the team led by caring and commanding Dr Nick Tremayne. Each book will bring you an emotional, tempting romanceâfrom Mediterranean heroes to a sheikh with a guarded heart.

Come in and meet them for yourselfâ¦
Margaret McDonagh says of herself: âI began losing myself in the magical world of books from a very young age, and I always knew that I had to write, pursuing the dream for over twenty years, often with cussed stubbornness in the face of rejection letters! Despite having numerous romance novellas, short stories and serials published, the news that my first âproper bookâ had been accepted by Harlequin Mills & Boon for their Medical⢠Romance line brought indescribable joy! Having a passion for learning makes researching an involving pleasure, and I love developing new characters, getting to know them, setting them challenges to overcome. The hardest part is saying goodbye to them, because they become so real to me. And I always fall in love with my heroes! Writing and reading books, keeping in touch with friends, watching sport and meeting the demands of my four-legged companions keeps me well occupied. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I loved writing it.â

Dear Reader
It was an honour to be involved in the wonderful Brides of Penhally Bay project, but I felt the weight of responsibility when I was asked to write Book 12 and bring this series to a close. Or is it just the end of the beginning? Who knows? As you will see, some threads are left hanging, so maybe one day we will be able to return to this delightful Cornish town and the folk who live there.
DR DEVEREUXâS PROPOSAL was fun to write, but also emotional. Both sexy French doctor Gabriel and caring physiotherapist Lauren have issues from their pasts which make them question whether anyone can love them. They also have to face some tough decisions about their futures. Instant attraction flares into an intense affair, but will their love be strong enough to hold them together when the time comes to face the truth? Can they confide in each other and find the answers together? Will knowledge of the past make them stronger and set them freeâ¦or will fears for what lies ahead tear them apart? I hope you will enjoy their journey.
2008 has been the year to celebrate the centenary of Mills & Boon, the home of romance. Thank you for being part of it. Hereâs to the next 100 years of reading pleasure!
Happy reading
Margaret
