CHAPTER FIVE

IT WASN’T EXACTLY BORING, Sarah’s trip west. In fact, there were some interesting patients and she liked Emerald as a town.

But something was missing and, loath as she was to admit it, she knew it was Harry’s presence—Harry’s lovemaking, and just Harry himself.

Stupid, really, because now that she’d rediscovered her sexual self, she could enjoy a relationship with anyone she fancied.

Providing, of course, they fancied her back.

Not that she’d be slipping straight into bed with them as she had with Harry. No, she could take her time, get to know someone, let a relationship build.

Perhaps that was why she was missing Harry—because the time they’d spent together could hardly be called a relationship. They’d done it all backwards.

Maybe, given time, she’d have got over the need to brush her fingers across his skin, or trace the tiny scar beside his ear, or stroke her hand down his firm thigh.

Got over the need to touch him at all.

‘You want to come into town for a bite to eat? There’s that great Indian restaurant just off the main drag.’

Ben had knocked on the door of her motel room and poked his head through the gap.

He’ll want to talk about his book, Sarah thought, and shook her head, then regretted it when she saw the disappointment on his face.

But tonight she just wanted to brood.

To try to work out why a certain Rahman al-Taraq had stirred the embers of her dead emotions back to smouldering life.

In five days?

Well, less, in the end.

The attraction had begun, on her side anyway, from the moment she’d helped him from the water with the stonefish sting.

And the discomfort—the shock, really—of that slow burn through her body had made her hit out at him.

But he was wasted, doing what he did.

Thankfully, her mobile belted out a jaunty tune at that stage of her brooding over Harry, and a desperate search for it distracted her completely.

So when she finally found it and answered, and a deep, sultry, masculine voice said, ‘Sarah, I need you,’ she almost fainted on the spot.

Had she conjured him up out of her thoughts?

And was need the same as want?

But he was still talking, and she had to listen. Apparently, Harry had touched down in Ambelia to complete chaos. His youngest sister had just given birth to her first baby, and he suffered from exactly the same problem as the baby boy on Wildfire Island: pyloric stenosis.

‘She wants me to do the op, Sarah, and you know I can’t. But we’ve done it together once before and could do it again. Will you help me?’

‘Oh, Harry, how can I? We’re at opposite ends of the world.’

‘My plane is on the way to Cairns as we speak. Will you come?’

She had to go!

She’d needed him and he’d come.

‘Can your pilot fly into Brisbane? It’s easier for me to get quickly from here to there than from here to Cairns. I’ve one small op in the morning, then I’ll get an afternoon flight to Brisbane.
