Part of Series

She owes him the truth. He wants to get even. But that old chemistry keeps messing up their plans. Thirteen years back Beck Braxton enlisted in the Army and left town, but not before asking his girl to wait for him. She didn't. Now he's part of the elite L.A.P.D. SWAT team and he needs a skills refresher course before he deploys next month as a National Guard Medic. Because of his crazy SWAT schedule, arrangements are made with the head ER doctor from St. Stephen's Hospital to accommodate him. But there's something suspiciously familiar about the drab nurse he's assigned to. January Stewart gave up being that bubbly, carefree girl who'd fallen in love with her high school bad boy when she was forced to make a painful decision all by herself. Thirteen years later, drastically changed by life both inside and out, she goes by the name Jan Ashworth and is harboring a huge secret. She has also been assigned to work with Officer Braxton. He may soon realize she's the girl who broke his heart while he was deployed, but he doesn't know the half of it. Now forced to work together, the ER nurse with every last bit of twinkle and glimmer erased, and Beck, the former wild child turned police officer, must face their past and remember that special feeling that once sizzled between them. *This book was formerly released by Mills & Boon in print and Harlequin in e-book format as Temporary Doctor, Surprise Father.*

USA Today Bestselling author, Lynne Marshall, used to worry she had a serious problem with daydreaming. Then she discovered she was supposed to write the stories in her head. A late bloomer, Lynne came to fiction writing after her children were nearly grown. Now she battles the empty nest by writing stories which always include a romance, sometimes medicine, a dose of mirth, or both, but always stories from her heart. She is a Southern California native, married to a New Englander for a long, long time, has two adult children she loves dearly, and four amazing grandchildren she adores. She is also a dog lover, a cat admirer, a meandering walker, and an optimistic traveler on this wild journey called life!
