Their Secret Royal Baby
Royal baby born in the ER!
Dr. Elias Santini, secret prince of Medrindos, has his world rocked when he attends an emergency delivery. The patient is Beth Foster, the woman he spent one stolen night with, and she’s in premature labor...with his baby!
Estranged from her strict parents, Beth both fears the desire between them and yearns for the support Elias offers her as their tiny newborn fights for her life. A fiery kiss tempts Beth to risk everything, but what will happen when she discovers her daughter is the future heir to the Medrindos throne?
I had the opening to Elias’s story in my mind for such a long time. Beth took a little longer to arrive, but the moment she did I was ready to start writing!
My gorgeous hero, Elias, is asleep during a lull in his shift in Accident & Emergency when he is woken and asked to help with an emergency delivery. The trouble is he knows the mother—in fact Beth is someone he has been unable to forget since their one night together—and judging by the dates…
We have all read stories about emergency personnel having to care for their own loved ones, and I have seen it happen myself. It takes a real hero or heroine to push their own feelings aside and deal with such a situation, and I think Elias rises to the occasion very well.
I hope you enjoy reading Beth and Elias’s story as much as I did writing it.
This is my 101>st book! My 100>th book, The Innocent’s Secret Baby, is also out this month—if you enjoyed Beth and Elias’s story I hope you will enjoy The Innocent’s Secret Baby too!
Happy reading.

‘DID YOU GO home for Christmas, Elias?’
It was coming up for midnight and it was the first chance for the staff to have a catch-up after a busy few hours in Accident and Emergency.
Mandy, the nurse in charge tonight, had brought around a tray of coffee and cake and was in the mood for a chat.
‘No.’ Elias shook his head and took a very welcome drink as he wrote down his findings on Mr Evans—a patient that he had just referred to Cardiology.
‘Did you work it, then?’ Mandy asked.
Elias Santini was a locum Accident and Emergency registrar and, for the last few months, had worked at several locations across London, though he was fairly regular at The Royal. This meant that, as he became more familiar, people wanted to know more about his life.
‘No,’ Elias said. ‘I just took a couple of weeks off and travelled. I saw in the New Year in Scotland.’
It was rare that Elias volunteered information about what he got up to in his personal life. Possibly he offered that sliver of information to distract Mandy from what he was sure she had been about to ask.
It didn’t work, though.
The question still came. ‘Where exactly is home?’
It would be easier to lie.
With his dark good looks and rich accent, Elias could say he was from Italy or Greece. He spoke both languages and could easily carry either off, but he didn’t want to lie and neither did he want to deny his heritage.
He hadn’t wanted to reveal it before.
Yet he was starting to feel ready to now.
‘Medrindos,’ Elias answered.
‘Oh!’ Mandy exclaimed. ‘Mark and I went there on our honeymoon! We’d love to go back someday and see if it’s still as beautiful as we remember.’
