Dear Reader,
When the Medical Romance editors suggested Sue MacKay and I write another duetâour first was The Infamous Maitland Brothers, with The Gift of a Child and How to Resist a HeartbreakerâI was thrilled. Sue and I had a lot of fun the first time around, and I knew weâd have the same on our second duet.
Writing The Nurseâs Special Delivery gave me the chance to share my love of Queenstown on New Zealandâs South Islandâone of my very favourite places in the world. Itâs a stunningly beautiful place: a town on the edge of a deep blue lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The area is a tourist haven and renowned for its sense of fun and adventure. I hope both Sue and I have captured a bit of that in these stories, too.
In this duet weâve taken a few risks and covered a topic that is not often talked about: surrogacy. Abbie canât carry her own child, so her best friend Emma offers to do it for her in a completely unselfish act that embodies what their friendship has meant over twenty years.
These two brave, compassionate and feisty women need strong heroes, and we definitely found them in Callum and Nixon! Callum has demons of his own, and is only visiting New Zealand for a short time. He does not need or want to fall in love with a place and a woman, and he definitely cannot imagine himself being a father to someone elseâs baby. Meanwhile Abbie is preparing for her first child and has no time or space in her life for a man. So the road to love is a rocky oneâwith both parties resisting all the way!
I hope you enjoy Callum and Abbieâs story!
Best wishes,
Louisa xx

PROLOGUE
THE SOUND OF tinkling bells and Christmas carols floated into Abbie Cookâs head. Followed by laughter. Hungry newborns grizzling. The chink of teacups. The smell of coffee that still made her nauseous.
