Taking Jackson #1
Taking Risks
Could she risk her daughter?
It had been six years since Verity Summers had fallen in love with newly qualified doctor Benedict Jackson. Although intense, their relationship hadn't lasted, and Benedict had left to take up a new post, unaware that Verity was to be the mother of their daughter.
But now Benedict was returning to London—to St. Jude's Hospital, where Verity was a theater nurse. Verity was certain she could control the feelings she still harbored for him. But could she—did she want to—hide the truth about their daughter?

1,260 books456 followersI was told off as a child for making up stories—little did I know that one day I’d earn my living by writing them!
To the horror of my parents, I left school at sixteen and held a bewildering variety of jobs: I was a London DJ (in the now-trendy Primrose Hill), a decorator and a singer. After that I became a cook, a photographer and, eventually, a nurse. I waitressed in the south of France, drove an ambulance in Australia, saw lots of beautiful sights but could never settle down. Everywhere I went I felt like a square peg—until one day I started writing again and then everything just fell into place. I felt like Cinderella must have when the glass slipper fit!
Today, I have the best job in the world, writing passionate romances for Harlequin. I like writing stories which are sexy and fast-paced, yet packed full of emotion—stories that readers will identify with, laugh and cry along with.
My interests are many and varied—chocolate and music, fresh flowers and bubble baths, films, cooking and trying to keep my home from looking burglarized! Simple pleasures—you can’t beat them!
I live in Winchester, one of the most stunning cities in the world, but don’t take my word for it—come see for yourself! I regularly visit London and Paris. Oh, and I love hearing from my readers all over the world…so I think it’s over to you!

I hate it when h value themselves so less and top of it are always in lust/love with the H at cost of their pride.
I don't expect the h to be stubborn or wilful but it would have been better if she would have asked the H to explain 1) his reasons of desertion, why?
2)Why suddenly ily?
3)Taking all his insults silently.
Make him work for the relationship rather than running after him.
Sorry didn't like h and H both.
