Lizzy was kicking herself over and over again. Why was she being such a pain with Leon?

It didn’t take a brain surgeon to answer that one. Or an antenatal cardiologist for that matter.

She was scared. Scared right down to her very essence.

Of course she didn’t want to do this on her own. She hadn’t even known she wanted a baby until a fortnight ago, when she’d stared at that smiley face on the pregnancy test and then, of course, on the five back-up tests she’d done afterwards.

Of course she’d love to be all happy families with the one man in the world who set her on fire in so many ways—intellectually, professionally, sexually...

The ‘sexually’ part in particular had been driving her mad. She’d met plenty of pregnant women who said all they thought about was sex when they were carrying a baby, and lo and behold she seemed to be one of them. But having sex with Leon was out of the question. Especially as they hadn’t decided on their long-term plan of action. Kissing, hugging, caressing and being totally naked with him would be sheer insanity.

That one night of mind-blowing sex they’d shared in January had changed her life for ever. If she were to have two to three more months of mind-blowing sex who knew what would happen? She might say yes to that ridiculously lovely cream-coloured dress she passed every single day when she sneaked out of the hospital for a secret gelato.

So, no way. There was zero chance she was going to go and stay in that flat of his, with him all naked and gorgeous and Italian, with his sexy voice, and super-sexy hands, and his sexy chin and his kiss-me-now lips and—everything. Especially if he smelt of burnt sugar and oranges as he had this morning. It had taken all the power she’d possessed not to rip her top off and beg him to have his wicked way with her when he’d come into the on-call room this morning. That was how big a game her hormones were playing.

Or maybe...her heart?

These questions and a thousand more plagued her as she sat through the morning meeting with Giovanni and his growing team and then went into the Bianchis’ room, where they were now.

‘Lizzy?’ Leon was prompting. ‘Gabrielle was just asking why you think another MRI is a good idea.’

He gave her a look that said a thousand things. I know you’re freaked out. I know you’re hormonal. I know we have a lot to talk about. And, more to the point, I flew you across the world to help these people.

‘Is it really necessary?’ Gabrielle’s eyes darted between the doctors and her husband. ‘I have to confess they’re beginning to make me feel a bit claustrophobic.’

Lizzy retrained her attentions to where they should be. On her patient. ‘We can get some music in there for you—or maybe an audiobook would help? Matteo, you’re also welcome to stay. The way Gabrielle will be situated
