      From partners to parents!

      Dr. Gabriel Jackson and paramedic Penny Davenport make a great team—despite driving each other crazy! She’s Manhattan Mercy’s daredevil helicopter pilot, who thrives on adventure after a childhood spent wrapped in cotton wool, while he’s the cautious flight doctor who, after a disastrous marriage, will never take risks again.

      But after the elation of surviving a storm explodes into passion, Penny discovers she’s pregnant! This could be an unforgettable Christmas—if they listen to their hearts and take the greatest risk of all!

      Dear Reader,

      Every book I write is a new puzzle to figure out—that’s part of why I do it. Writing a book in a continuity like this—a miniseries within the line—is the biggest puzzle in the world. If you’re unfamiliar with how these book babies are born, this is what happens: our talented editors cook up a bunch of linked characters, do some world-building to craft a community, then put together a project book with outlines and info for the writers who’ll be collaborating to write the books.

      This is extremely challenging. You have to take someone else’s characters, shove them and the outline into your brain, and start running. Because of the nature of the beast, if one story deviates from the plan all the other stories might have to too. It requires a lot of off-the-cuff problem-solving and co-operation. It also requires extremely talented editors to make sure it hangs together at the end.

      In short, it’s the kind of project that forces you to grow as a writer. It also means the final result is never just due to your effort, it’s even more of a team effort than usual—and it has to be a great team to work. Writers who’ll immediately give feedback on something within minutes, or brainstorm a way to craft an event that has to happen in your book for future books to make sense. It’s kind of a miracle, and kind of a nightmare at times, but it turns out some of the best stories.

      I really hope you enjoy Gabriel and Penny’s story, and I hope you’ll pick up the other books in the series to see how the remaining Davenports get their happy-ever-afters.

      First, I must thank Dr Trish Connor from the bottom of my heart for her help figuring out what was wrong with Penny! I knew she had to have had a childhood illness, and had a list of boxes that illness had to tick to make the story work, but no idea what the illness could be. She listened to the list, rapidly spat out several options, and generally was a lifesaver. Without her directing me to juvenile dermatomyositis, which I’d never heard of, Penny might have never come alive to me as fully as she did. Massive thank-you to Dr Connor.

      I must also shower love on Robin Gianna, sister-in-law to Dr Connor, who handled the conversation one day over lunch while I was panicking. :)

      Finally, I’d like to thank Amy Ruttan, Annie O’Neil and Robin Gianna for the brainstorming and handholding it took to get this crazy book baby born. Love you, ladies!
