When that guy on the train turns out to be your boss!
Nurse Felicity Mitchellâs train journey of a lifetime is even more unforgettable when she meets Callum Hollingsworth. Neither is looking for temptation, but that doesnât stop them from sharing one hot, wild night!
Except when they disembark, they learn that what happened on the train wonât stay on the train. Because the gorgeous stranger is Flickâs new boss...and itâs increasingly difficult to keep their chemistry under control and leave it at just one night!
Dear Reader,
When I was asked to write a duo with Emily Forbes centring around a house swap I leapt at the chance. I simply adored the movie The Holiday, and thought the concept would be great to play around with. There are no snowy cottages or Jude Laws in this one, but there is Outback Australia, a delicious wounded doc and a no-nonsense small-town nurse whoâs super-wary of loveâparticularly when it comes in the form of a very temporary locum.
I was also thrilled finally to be able to put a train in a book! In 2012 my husband and I travelled on the Indian Pacific from Sydney all the way across the country to Perth, and I have been wanting to put that trip in a book ever since. Growing up as the daughter of a railway man, Iâve always felt that trains are in my blood, and some of my happiest childhood memories involve train trips with the family. Thereâs just something so romantic about saloon cars, moonlit landscapes flitting by, and two strangers making love all night to the clickety-clack of the rails against the track.
I hope you enjoy the journey through this book as much as I did bringing it to you.
Happy readingâand all aboard!
Amy
To my dear friend and colleague Emily Forbes.
It was a blastâletâs do it again some time!

âA lovely and sweet romance, but with plenty of heat and some ripping sexual tension.â

CHAPTER ONE
CALLUM HOLLINGSWORTH WOULD have had to be completely blind not to notice the sexy blonde in his peripheral vision. Thanks to a combination of excellent medical care, the passage of time and her being on his right, he wasnât.
Although it was her laugh heâd noticed first.
She was talking on her phone and even though her tone was hushed her occasional laughter practically boomed around the busy café. It was so damn...unrestrained, so carefree, he couldnât help but stare.
Callum hadnât had much to laugh about in recent times and a hot streak of envy tore through his chest as he ogled her from behind his sunglasses. Long honey-coloured hair with curly ends that brushed her shoulder blades. A glimpse of sun-kissed skin at her throat and on toned, tanned arms. Legs clad in denim that were shapely rather than skinny and knee-high fringed boots that looked more country girl than dominatrix.
She didnât wear any make-up or jewellery. In fact, there was a lack of anything flashy or ostentatious about her yet she shone like a jewel in the old-fashioned café in Sydneyâs Central Station as the sun streamed in through the high windows overhead.
Maybe it was the way she laughedâwith her whole bodyâthat held his attention. Maybe it was the jeans and the boots. Maybe it was her lack of pretension. Whatever, he was just pleased to be provided with some relief from the burden of his thoughts as he sat waiting for his train to depart.
For Godâs sake, he was about to embark on one of the great train journeys of the world. He was leaving Sydney and going somewhere else for two months where nobody knew him or about the tumble his career had taken. He could reset the clock. Reinvent himself.
Come back refreshed and show them all he didnât give a damn.
The sooner he got to grips with his old life being over, the sooner he could get his act together. This was his chance to finally get his head out of his backside and work on being impressively happy once again. Because he sure as hell was sick of himself and the dark cloud that had been following him around for the last two years.
