Runaway Sister — Ann Jennings

Nothing is private in a hospital, but recently-jilted Sister Samantha Roberts didn't need Adam Shaw's comments on her love life - even if he was an authority on passion as well as obstetrics and gynaecology! So running away to a job on the Greek island of Corfu seemed the perfect solution - until she found out just whose sister she would be looking after!

Samhain reprint:

She thought she'd left her troubles behind…until they follow her to paradise.

As a nurse midwife, Samantha Roberts's ear is finely tuned to the subtle changes in a newborn's cry that could signal trouble. But there's one voice she'd gladly tune out altogether, if she could.

It's humiliating enough the whole hospital knows the doctor who strung her along for four years recently dumped her. The last thing she needs is a lecture from Adam Shaw -- as if his area of expertise is relationships rather than obstetrics.

Eager to escape the hospital's gossip mill -- and the disturbing emotions Adam tends to bring out in her -- Samantha jumps at the chance to pick up the strands of her life by tending to a pregnant woman's needs on the gorgeous Greek isle of Corfu.

She's looking forward to a few weeks of sun-drenched bliss -- until she finds out why this dream job landed in her lap. And the handsome, knee-weakening reason shows up on Corfu.
