FROM THE PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE: During her childhood years Laura Iding spent hours writing love stories, convinced she'd be an author when she grew up. But her parents convinced her to get a real job so she went to college to become a registered nurse. While she loved being a critical-care nurse, she eventually came back to her first love, writing. She's thrilled to combine her two favorite careers into one, writing Medical Romances for Harlequin while still keeping her job in the hospital. Laura lives with her husband of twenty-five years and is enjoying life as an empty nester now that her two adult children are in college. With twenty books already in publication, she hopes to have many more. Also writes as Laura Scott
