About this ebook
Megan thought she had it all—a good job, a caring family and a fiancé who would make a wonderful husband.
But then her perfect world fell apart, and she found that her one hope was Professor Jake van Belfeld. When her former fiancé fell for her younger sister Melanie, Megan stepped aside with quiet dignity, burying her heartbreak in the demanding routine of Queen’s Ward.
The aloof consultant appeared resolved to take command of her troubles—yet no one at Regent’s could fathom his sudden gentleness.
Whisking her away to an orphanage on the Dutch coast, he placed seven lively infants in her capable care. Caring for motherless babies offered a welcome distraction—though his watchful presence never allowed her to forget him.
He seemed determined to rebuild her life—but why was he taking such a personal interest in her? Did he think that her heart needed his attention, too?

- Slow Burn: Bicycle rides through windswept sand dunes near Castricum bring Megan newfound peace, while a dramatic rescue during a summer thunderstorm reveals the depth of Jake’s protective care.
