Mills & Boon presents the complete Betty Neels collection. Timeless tales of heart-warming romance by one of the world’s best-loved romance authors.

A most suitable match!

Louisa Howarth enjoyed her job as a doctor’s receptionist—until Dr Thomas Gifford appeared on the scene. She found Thomas aloof and demanding, but incredibly attractive. So when Louisa discovered he was engaged to the totally unsuitable Helena, she decided it was her duty to stop Thomas from making a terrible mistake.

Only, Louisa hadn’t counted on her growing feelings for Thomas, or on the possibility that it wasn’t Helena he wanted to marry after all!
