Outback doctor, English bride - Leah Martyn

The doctor's marriage wish

Maxi Somers has loved and lost. She gave up her chance of happiness to care for her sick brother - and now she's journeying to the Australian Outback to find the man she let go. Dr Jake Haslem is the saviour of his small community.

He belongs in the Outback - the harsh elements are no match for the emotional barriers he's had in place since losing Maxi. Maxi will do whatever it takes to open the heart Jake closed all those years ago.

She knows now that her home is wherever he is. She belongs in the Outback, as his bride.

Leah Martyn comes from a long line of storytellers and finds writing comes to her as naturally as breathing. As well as her medical romances, she has written and published short stories. She insists her characters must have a sense of humour! She loves vacationing in Queensland and browsing in bookshops is high on her list of enjoyable things to do. Consequently, each year around Christmas, she breaks the budget, buying an armful of new releases to read over the holidays.
