"A heartwarming tale of renewal, redemption and forgiveness, Neurosurgeon…and Mum, is the irresistible new Medical Romance from award-winning author Kate Hardy!"

Amy Rivers was one of the London Victoria Hospital’s best neurosurgeons. She was ambitious, conscientious, hard-working and dedicated to her profession. Amy was well on her way up to the top – until she was forced to make a difficult decision which compelled her to take a step back and examine her career priorities. With her future in the medical field uncertain and desperate for a break, Amy leaves London and all her memories behind and heads off to the Norfolk coast to housesit for her beloved uncle and aunt who are going to Australia for the birth of their new grandchild. Amy is looking forward to having some time to think in perfect solitude, but on her arrival she realizes that loneliness might not be on the agenda after all…

After the death of his ruthlessly motivated wife, Dr. Tom Ashby had had to juggle the busy demands of his profession with that of raising his daughter, Perdy. Worried by his daughter’s self consciousness, Tom had decided to leave city life behind and settle into a rural community in the hope of starting afresh. Tom had hoped to leave the memories of the past behind, but his withdrawn and cripplingly shy daughter continues to worry him. Sharing his retreat with somebody else is not something which fills Tom with pleasure – especially when he witnesses first hand Amy’s indifferent attitude towards his daughter. Yet, little does Tom realize that circumstances and past heartbreak had forced Amy to harden her heart and to keep everyone at bay.

After getting her heart broken by the man she thought was the love of her life, Amy had resolved to give relationships as wide a berth as possible. But when she had clapped eyes on Tom for the first time, Amy found herself drawn to the handsome doctor…and to his sad little girl. As Amy begins to spend more time with Tom and Perdy, Amy realizes that she does not want to be on her own anymore; she wants to be part of a family – but how can she even contemplate a future with Tom when her life is in such a mess?

Will Amy have the courage to listen to her heart and to grasp this chance at happiness? Or will she continue to let her fears and her doubts rule her life?
