Dear Reader,
This book has been such a rollercoaster to writeâI really hope you enjoy reading my slice of life at Paddington Childrenâs Hospital.
As excited as I was about taking part in my first continuity series, the prospect of writing along with such fabulous established authors was daunting for a newbie, to say the least! I shouldnât have worried. These ladies had such fabulous ideas for the series, and are so much better organised than I am, it made the process easier.
A book set in London was also a great excuse for a research tripâand it just so happened to coincide with my twentieth wedding anniversary! I had a lovely day at the zoo with my hubby, following in Quinn, Matt and little Simonâs footsteps. Albeit in the rain...
Maybe for our silver anniversary Iâll plan a research trip somewhere a bit more exotic. Surely they have doctors on Mediterranean cruises too...
Happy reading!

PROLOGUE
QUINN GRADY WAS officially the worst mother in the world. Barely a week into the job and her charge was already lying in the hospital.
Simon mightnât be her real son but that made her role as his foster mum even more important. As someone whoâd been passed from pillar to post in the care system herself, it meant everything to her to provide a safe home for him. Yet here she was, sitting on her own in the bright corridors of the Paddington Childrenâs Hospital, nerves shredded, waiting for news on his condition.
Sheâd done everything by the parenting handbook, even when life had thrown her that âIâm not ready to be a dadâ curveball from Darryl right before Simon had come into her life. Her focus had remained on his welfare regardless of her own heartbreak that her partner had gone back on his word that he was going into this with her. The sleepless nights sheâd spent with her mind running through every possible scenario she might encounter as someoneâs guardian hadnât prepared her for this.
A fire at the school.
As sheâd waved a tearful goodbye this morning and watched Simon walk away in his smart, new uniform sheâd half expected a phone call. Heâd looked so small, so lost, sheâd almost been waiting for the school to call and ask her to pick him up, to come and hug him and tell him everything was going to be all right.
