About the book
A surprise for Dr. Carlisle... There were reasons why Dr. Seb Carlisle really shouldn't get involved with Dr. Lucinda Chambers. They worked together in the busy children's clinic at Melbourne Central Hospital...and, on top of his demanding job, Seb was a single father to a five-year-old! But a weekend alone in Queensland was more temptation than they could handle. The inevitable happened...with unexpected consequences. Six weeks later, Lucinda began to suspect Seb was going to be a father again. Now she must have to find a way to tell him!
