When Charlotte Edwards, the administrator of a mission hospital in the African state of Liberia, throws caution to the wind and indulges in a night of passion with Trent Dalton, a temporary doctor, she knows she’ll never see him again, so it doesn’t matter. The very next day, she’s forced to go to the airport and beg him to return, as his placement is totally unsuitable. Mercifully, he postpones his travel plans in order to help out, but now she’s faced with the total embarrassment of her one night of indiscretion coming back to haunt her again and again….Trent? He likes to love ‘em and leave ‘em. A man who comes from a privileged background, he wants to make his own mark on the world. He wants to use his surgical skills to make a difference to people’s lives and not to have to live up to the reputation of his family, who have enough money and renown to make it possible for him to lead a life of wealth and ease. What he doesn’t understand is Charlotte’s passion for setting up a plastic surgery unit in a mission field. Is cosmetic surgery the aim of a mission hospital? Surely just saving lives is more important?Can this pair of misfits ever get together in the true sense, rather than in a one-off encounter? That’s the question and I have to say that I found this a story told with wit, warmth and humor. It was also wonderful to get a chance to visit Liberia, a country about which I’ve always been curious. An English-speaking state, set up by freed American slaves. Get a copy of this book, read and enjoy. Although Harlequin M&B; books tend to go out of print after a very short time, ebooks are always available. I totally heart this book and recommend it to readers of romance, medical, contemporary and otherwise.
