Delivering Love Jake Sheppard made no secret of his disapproval of midwife Poppy McCrae?s use of alternative therapies. Poppy was furious and accused the handsome paediatrician of being a stubborn stuffed shirt. Professional disagreement didn?t stand in the way of an emerging passion and soon Poppy became pregnant. At first she couldn?t contemplate marriage to a man so averse to her principles. But when Poppy discovered the reason behind Jake?s mistrust of her methods, she found herself hoping it wasn?t too late to change her mind. Delivering Secrets Midwife Ellie Diamond convinces herself that returning to Bell?s River has nothing to do with the chance to work closely with her former love, obstetrician Dr Luke Farrell. Luke has changed as much as Ellie has over the years. One thing that hasn?t changed, though, is their fierce and irresistible attraction for each other. But although Ellie dreams of a future with Luke, she fears that the secrets that separated them in the past could destroy their fragile relationship in the present.
