The Hollywood Hills Clinic next month!
I was so pleased to say yes when I was asked to participate in The Hollywood Hills Clinic continuity! Not to mention that I smiled when I saw that my hero was both a prince and a doctor—probably not a usual combination, so I knew it would be a fun story to write.
This is the second book I’ve written with a midwife heroine—the first was for the Midwives On-Call at Christmas series I participated in. The other book—Her Christmas Baby Bump—was set in the UK, and this is in the US. There are quite a few interesting differences in midwifery between the two countries, which I found enjoyable to research.
My heroine here, in The Prince and the Midwife, works hard and keeps mostly to herself. Her emotions are still raw from a tragedy she hasn’t put behind her. I loved the thought of my hero helping Gabby move from her painful past to a new future—but the journey isn’t without a few bumps along the way.
Rafael has his own problems, and he’s hiding out in LA for a while to deal with one of them—the constant media attention on a few scandals of his that the royal family is none too happy about. He’s planning to steer clear of all women until the frenzy passes—but meeting Gabriella makes that feel impossible.
I enjoyed the sparks that fly between Gabby and Rafael from the moment they meet—though the initial sparks are mostly of the annoyed variety! But as they learn to respect one another’s work they also learn that perhaps the way they’ve been living their lives isn’t really what they want after all.
I hope you enjoy The Hollywood Hills Clinic books—and Rafael and Gabby’s story. You can find out about my other stories, or contact me, at robingianna.com.
Happy reading!

After completing a degree in journalism, then working in advertising and mothering her kids, ROBIN GIANNA had what she calls her’awakening’. She decided she wanted to write the kind of romance novels she’d loved since her teens, and now enjoys pushing her characters towards their own happily-ever-afters. When she’s not writing, Robin fills her life with a happily messy kitchen, a needy garden, a wonderful husband, three great kids, a drooling bulldog and one grouchy Siamese cat.
This book is dedicated to my friend and neighbour Betsy Hackett, RN, DSN. Thanks so much, Betsy, for putting up with my phone calls and numerous questions about midwifery and birthing babies—smooch!
‘Yet another splendid read from the author … a romance which should not be missed by everyone who loves medical romance.’
—Harlequin Junkie on It Happened in Paris …
‘The story flowed brilliantly, the dialogue was believable and I was thoroughly engaged in the medical dramas.’
—Contemporary Romance Reviews on Changed by His Son’s Smile
GABRIELLA CAIN ABSENTLY raked her fingers through her hair and stared at the messy room, fighting the deep fatigue that crept quietly into every aching muscle. Her second double shift of the week might be officially over, but as the labor suite department head she wasn’t about to leave the disarray for the next midwife to clean up.
Thinking about the twins she’d just delivered to a Hollywood actress and the new mother’s proud, beaming husband gave her an energy boost. The suite was a mess for a great reason—the birth of two healthy newborns. After all, just like a kitchen that was never cooked in stayed clean, a spic-and-span labor and delivery suite would mean no new little babies, and wouldn’t that be a sad thing?
Gabby finished putting new sheets on the bed, wishing her own at home were as nice as the luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets The Hollywood Hills Clinic provided for its demanding patients, then topped it off with a fresh down blanket. The room was strewn with the various supplies she’d just used, and she figured it made sense to clean that up last so she could note what inventory she might be running low on and get them ordered tomorrow.
She folded clean blankets and stacked them inside the toasty warming cupboard. Crouching down to finally gather the things on the floor, the sound of the double swinging doors banging open and a gurney being hurriedly wheeled into the room had her pausing in surprise. The other, even more alarming sounds? A woman’s moans and the receptionist shouting her name.
“Gabby? Gabby! Are you in here?” Stephanie called.
“I’m here.” She stood and stared in dismay when she saw it was Cameron Fontaine lying on the gurney being steered by the hospital’s uniformed EMTs, who had doubtless brought her here by helicopter. The famous A-list actress, who was one of Gabby’s most difficult patients, and whose baby wasn’t due for months. “Cameron? What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know. I think the baby’s coming. It’s way too soon, though, isn’t it? Oh, God, I’m so scared.” She jabbed her index finger toward Gabby, her blue eyes somehow wide with fear and imperiously demanding at the same time. “You’ve got to do something!”
Gabby’s stomach plunged. Yes. It was too soon, and she sent up a deep prayer that Cameron wasn’t in labor. That her baby would be fine. That her infant would
