       Dear Reader,

      Usually writing a book is a relatively solitary job, but when you’re writing a novel which is part of a series written by a group of authors it comes with a lovely sense of camaraderie. The Midwives On-Call series was no exception. Way back in the day, I worked as a midwife. I loved it. There is something so precious and special about delivering a baby. For a few hours you’re part of people’s lives as they experience one of their most momentous events. It’s an honour and a privilege. One of the births that stands out in my memory is delivering twins on Christmas Day. I’ve also been on the other side of delivery—the woman giving birth—and I still remember with great fondness the midwives who delivered my sons.

      In Unlocking Her Surgeon’s Heart Lilia is a dedicated midwife in a small coastal town. She loves her work but to a certain extent she’s hiding behind it. Her world is small and safe—which is how she wants and needs it to be. The arrival of an arrogant and grumpy city surgeon is something to be endured for four short weeks and she’s endured worse—so how hard can it possibly be?

      Noah is in the final months of his surgical fellowship, and being sent to the tiny township of Turraburra is his worst nightmare. He’s chosen surgery so he doesn’t have to talk to patients, but his boss at the Melbourne Victoria Hospital has other ideas. Noah starts counting down the hours until he can leave from the moment he arrives, and he surely doesn’t need or want the enigmatic midwife’s opinion on his rusty communication skills. As the weeks go by Noah not only discovers his bedside manner, but exactly what’s been missing in his life. Can he convince Lilia to take the biggest risk of her life and love him?

      I hope you enjoy Lilia and Noah’s story. For photos, back story and information about the series, as well as my other books, please join me at www.fionalowe.com. You can also find me at Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and of course you can catch me by email at [email protected]
