Unbuttonedâand out of bounds!
Sparks fly from day one between playboy neurosurgeon Alistair North and his talented, sexy trainee surgeon Claire Mitchell. Heâs on a mission to help überserious Claire relax, but his cavalier approach is driving her crazy.
Alistair is completely out of bounds, even if he is completely gorgeousâheâs her boss! But when he confronts Claire after a difficult surgery, desire overcomes reason. With secrets holding them both back, can they find a way to turn their forbidden passion into forever?
When I was invited to be part of the Paddington Childrenâs Hospital series I jumped at the chance to spend some virtual time in London. Oh, what fun I had âwalkingâ the streets virtually, onlineâfirst in Paddington, and then venturing further afield as I gave my Aussie heroine a London adventure.
My favourite part of this research was creating the setting for the fundraising ball. I based it around the Savoy Hotel, and the wild and wonderful stories that are now part of the folklore of that gracious establishment.
I hope you enjoy spending a few hours in London with Claire and Alistair as they work and play and finally find their happy-ever-after.
Check out my Pinterest page for the book to see some of the London sights that feature. Online, you can find me at fionalowe.com, on Facebook, Twitter and now Instagramâand you can email me at [email protected]. I love to hear from my readers.
Happy reading!

ALTHOUGH CLAIRE MITCHELL had been in London for a few weeks, she still pinched herself every time she stepped out onto the streets of Paddington. For an Aussie country girl, it was all a little bit surrealâlike being on the set of Mary Poppins or Upstairs, Downstairs.
Dazzling white, Victorian, stuccoed terraced houses with pillared porches and decorative balconies were built neatly around tiny central gardens. This morning as she crossed the pocket-handkerchief park, passing between two black wrought-iron gates, the ubiquitous London drizzle was cheerfully absent. Tongues of early-morning light filtered down between the tender, bright green spring foliage of century-old oaks and elms. It was a far cry from the dusty, rock-hard and sun-cracked park where sheâd spent her childhood. The only shade to be found at the Gundiwindi playground had been that cast by the people standing next to her.
Walking briskly, she made her way along what would be a frantically busy road in an hourâs time. Right now though, the street sweepers, bakers, newsagents and baristas were the only people out offering services to a few crazy early birds like herself. Her favourite Italian trattoria had a coffee window and Tony greeted her with a cheery buongiorno as he handed out six lattes, neatly stacked in a cardboard carrier. âYou bring the sunshine, mia bella.â
Claire smiled and gave into the irrational zip of delight she allowed herself to feel. She knew the garrulous barista flirted with every female aged two to ninety-two and that his mia bella meant nothing. But as few men ever noticed her, let alone tried to charm her, she accepted and enjoyed his compliments as a lovely way to start her day.
She bought a pain au chocolat from the bakery and balanced the bag on top of the coffees as she continued to walk towards Paddington Childrenâs Hospital, or âthe castleâ as the locals called it. A bright red double-decker bus lumbered past down the narrow road. With her free hand, she grabbed a quick photo of it on her phone and immediately sent it to her brother. He was the proud owner of the Gundiwindi garage and he adored anything with an engine. Whenever Claire saw something heâd delight in, she always sent him a photo. He always replied with either a picture of her nieces and nephews or of her parents.
