Dear Reader,

Thank you for picking up a copy of Perfect Rivals...! I can’t believe this is my tenth book for Harlequin Medical Romance. It seems like only yesterday I sold my first book.

I was absolutely thrilled when the Harlequin Medical Romance team approached me about joining this continuity series—a series that is full of my favorite authors. I was excited and nervous at the same time.

Dr. Florence Chiu is a character I instantly connected with. Her character absolutely gutted me repeatedly over the course of writing her story. I haven’t had much experience in transplant surgery, but I know what an amazing gift donor organs can be, and for my heroine it means a second chance at life.

My hero is no stranger to Dr. Chiu’s world. He’s lost someone very dear to him, and because of that he’s guarded his heart and devoted his life to medicine. Having a fake relationship is the riskiest thing he’s done in a long time.

I hope you enjoy Flo and Nate’s story.

I love hearing from readers, so please drop by my website, amyruttan.com, or give me a shout on Twitter, @ruttanamy.

With warmest wishes,

Amy Ruttan
