Dear Reader
I hope you have been enjoying the Gold Coast Angels series. Having been a part of a few continuities now, I can tell you without hesitation how very much I enjoy them. Itâs nice not to write in isolation for a change, to live in a world that you build together with your fellow writers, brick by brick, and where everyone knows you!
I hope you are buckled up for Cade and Callieâs story. Cade was one of the secondary characters in the hugely successful New York City Angels series, and I know readers have been clamouring for his HEA.
The problem is both Cade and Callie have baggageârelationships that have broken them and made them determined to hold themselves back. Their careers have taken priority in their lives and they like it that way!
But fate has different ideas for these two, and I hope you enjoy their dance as they realise that career is just one aspect of a whole life. And that sometimes you need to give in to temptation and surrender to a higher powerâlove.
Happy reading!

HOW TO MEND A BROKEN HEART
IT HAD BEEN a long time since Cade Coleman had felt so objectified. But standing in front of a ballroom full of appreciative women with their chequebooks out took him right back to the âbad old daysâ.
Back then heâd been pool and garden guy to a bunch of bored Beverly Hills housewives. But now? At thirty-five he was Dr Cade Coleman, neonatal specialist, one of the shining stars in the crown of the Gold Coast City Hospital. His reputation was impeccable and his passion for the little lives in his care had driven him to blaze his way into the relatively new arena of prenatal surgery.
Heâd come far since losing his wayâand his virginityâto a string of gorgeous cougars, and even though he was here tonight, on the opposite side of the world and in the name of charity, the irony was not lost on him.
âWhat will you bid?â the emcee, a well-known celebrity and another gorgeous cougar who looked like she might just buy him herself, called to the crowd. âRemember, Dollars for Dates raises an extraordinary amount of money every year for the neonatal unit and this yearâ¦â she paused and gave Cade the once-over, much to the crowdâs delight ââ¦weâve saved the best for last.â
Cade smiled good-naturedly. When heâd been asked to participate in the annual fundraiser, he hadnât hesitated. He didnât mind squiring around any of the aging Gold Coast charity queens populating the crowd for a nightânot if it meant he could expand his prenatal surgery options.
âDo I have two hundred dollars?â
An excited murmur ran through the crowd as people considered their options. Then, from towards the back a very hesitant, âFifty,â could be heard.
Cade clutched his chest and feigned his very best insulted look. âMaâam, you wound me,â he said, his voice easily projecting to the rear of the room.
The crowd laughed as the emcee cooed, âOh, and heâs an American, ladies. How very exotic.â
âTwo hundred,â a voice called from the left.
Callie Richards, admiring the spectacle from her table, glanced over at the bidder, smiling at the total lack of hesitancy this time. Seemed the accent was a real clincher! And then the bidding was off.
Not that she could blame any of them. Cade Coleman had been setting hearts aflutter ever since his arrival at the hospital a couple of months ago. Being tall, tanned, lean, ripped and foreign would do that.
So would looking dashing and debonair and just a little bit Rhett Butler in his tuxedo.
God knew, she wasnât immune to those broad shoulders and all that brash American confidence despite what she knew about him from Alex, his stepbrotherâand probably the closest thing she had to a friend in the entire world, even if he did live on the other side of the planet.
