Thank you for picking up Sean and Isabel’s story.

I love being part of the Midwives-On Call at Christmas continuity series. Not only am I creating a world along with fabulous authors, but we get to meet characters over and over and come to know and love them so much more.

Isabel Delamere has a secret that involves Sean Anderson, but she knows that if he discovers it he will be out of her life for ever. She is torn between truth and lies, between the past and the present. And her feelings for Sean are complicated and bone-deep.

Small wonder, then, that when Sean turns up in her maternity unit she struggles to face him. But Sean isn’t the young teenager she fell for years ago—he’s a devastatingly handsome and accomplished doctor who wants answers to questions from decades ago.

I loved writing Isabel and Sean’s story. It takes us on a journey from Melbourne to Cambridge and to magical Paris at Christmas time, and it gives them both a chance to rediscover love. But do they take it? You’ll have to read it and see!

I really hope you enjoy reading this book. If you want to catch up with all my book news visit me at louisageorge.com. Better still, sign up for my newsletter while you’re there, so you get to hear about the contests and giveaways I have too.

‘ODDS ON IT’LL be the Pattersons. She was telling me the other day that she missed out on winning it a couple of years ago, so she’s going to cross her legs until the twenty-fifth. No hot curries, or hot baths and definitely no hot sex for her.’

You and me both, girlfriend. Obstetrician Isabel Delamere tried to remember the last time she’d had anything like hot sex and came up with a blank. It was all by design, of course … working in a maternity unit was enough reminder of what hot sex could lead to—that and her own experiences. But every now and then she wondered … what the hell was she missing out on?

Plus, how could she possibly be lonely when she spent all of her waking hours surrounded by colleagues, clients and lots and lots of wriggling, screaming, gorgeous babies?

Sighing, she wrote Patterson down on the First Baby of Christmas sweepstake form and added her five-pound note to the pot. ‘If mum has her way there’s no way that baby’s coming until Christmas Day. She’s set her heart on the hamper, and between you and me they don’t have a lot of money. I think she needs it.’

‘I admire your optimism …’ Bonnie Reid, one of Isabel’s favourite midwives—and new friend—at the Cambridge Royal Maternity Unit, added her contribution of a large box of chocolates and a bumper pack of newborn nappies to the crate of donations that threatened to overshadow the huge department Christmas tree and wooden Nativity scene. With a heavy bias on baby items, some gorgeous hand-knitted booties and shawls, and heaps of food staples, whoever won would be set up for the next year. ‘But when I saw her yesterday that baby was fully engaged and she was having pretty regular Braxton Hicks contractions, so my bet is that baby Patterson will make a show well before Christmas Day.’ Bonnie stepped back and surveyed the decorations, her lilting Scottish accent infused with wistfulness. ‘Oh, I do love Christmas.’
