Start the New Year with ANN McINTOSH

THE SURGEON'S ONE NIGHT TO FOREVER

One night in Mexico…
Second chance in New York!


ER doctor Liz Prudhomme is stunned that nomadic former army doc Cort Smith is her hospital’s new trauma surgeon. Instantly she’s transported back to that amazing night when he showed her unimaginable pleasure! 

Their passion quickly reignites and Cort realigns Liz’s career-focused world. Before he moves on again, can she help the sexy but damaged doc realize they have something worth staying for?



The quiet click of the door opening had her scrambling for enough control to turn and face him, but she didn’t get a chance to pull herself together before his deep voice reached her.



“Are we here to talk, or something else?” He was close behind her. The heat pouring off his body made gooseflesh pop up all along her back and arms, and had her breath catching in her throat. “I’m taking nothing for granted when it comes to you, Liz, so tell me why I’m here.”

“I want you.” The words flowed far too easily from her lips, but it was the truth, and she was big on the truth, even if she didn’t feel ready to face him just yet. “Right now.”
“Good.” It was a growl, and he surrounded her with his strong, solid arms, the hardness of his erection pressing between her buttocks. “I wasn’t sure I’d be able to restrain myself if you wanted a discussion.”

She would have replied, except he nipped her nape, the sharp scrape of his teeth along the sensitive skin making her breath hitch and her mind stumble over its thoughts.

THE Q&A
ANGI: What story have you gotten lost in recently?
ANN: Right now I’m reading John Sandford’s Escape Clause and I’m trying to be good and only read it at night before bed but, man, it’s hard. I love his books and have a hard time putting them down. I know when I get to the very end I’ll be bingeing because his endings are always dramatic and it’s impossible to not finish the book once you get to a certain point!

ANGI: Favorite field trip?
ANN: It’s a toss-up between the beach or a museum.

ANGI: Daffy Duck or Donald Duck?
ANN: Definitely Daffy!

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?
ANN: Cort is a man without roots, but it hasn’t stopped him from achieving success or from caring about others. He’s also sexy as all get-out!

ANGI: High Heels or Hiking Boots?
ANN: Probably hiking boots, just because I love comfort, but a nice pair of high heels can turn my head any day!

ANGI: Got a favorite song? What makes it special?
ANN: All of You by John Legend, because my husband sings it to me whenever it comes on and we get kinda mushy LOL!

ANGI: Surf or Turf?
ANN: Turf, if I really have to choose.

ANGI: Biography or History?
ANN: History. When I first started writing I wrote mainly Historicals because I loved the research involved. I’ve had a love of history since I was maybe 11 or so, so it seemed the logical direction.

ANGI: Favorite inspiration or Quote?
ANN: I found a decorative piece that says: “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring,” and bought it thinking I’d give it as a gift, but I ended up keeping it, because I love it.

ANGI’s GOTTA ASK:  What are your favorite shoes & why? 

ANN’s GOTTA ANSWER:   The shoes in this picture have only been worn once, at the Blessing of my marriage to my darling husband in June 2018, but although I haven’t found another occasion to wear them yet, they’re probably my favorite. I walked into a store, looking for a dress to wear for the ceremony and there they were… Impossible to match to any dress in the store, in a color I don’t wear very often, and suede, which is notoriously finicky to upkeep, but I HAD to have them. I ended up wearing a navy lace dress. At the time I thought the combination an unusual one, but then I saw Victoria Beckham wear a similar combo to Harry and Meghan’s wedding, and I was over the moon to, for once in my life, be on the cutting edge of fashion LOL!
ANGI: LOVE THAT STORY!

ANN WANTS TO KNOW:  While The Surgeon’s One Night to Forever is set in New York City, at heart I truly love warm, tropical settings. As a reader, do you prefer tropical/rural or urban settings best?

  1. I can't say that I prefer one setting over another. I do like it when the setting almost becomes another character in the story, so to speak.

    1. I do too, Mary, but as an author I don't always feel I've achieved that the way I want to!

  5. I don't mind the tropical but i love the rural maybe as due to me living in a very rural area and seeing so much wildlife i can relate to it more as even growing up in a foster home it was in a rural area way far from the school and it took 2 hr bus rides home. peggy clayton ptclayton2@aol.com Happy New Year!

    1. Happy new year Peggy and thank you for stopping by! I love seeing wildlife too, and was so unhappy when the powers that be cut down the woodlot near our home. I don't see the deer or much of anything in our backyard anymore :(

    1. Happy new year, Kate, and thanks for stopping by. Isn't it great when you read a book and feel as though you've been to the place where it's set? I used to tell people I didn't get a chance to physically travel as much as I'd like, but I've been all over the world through books.

  9. I am not picky about settings... I just enjoy going wherever the story leads me...

  10. I live in Orlando, so I am definitely a tropical girl as long as it's 85 degrees or less!! For books I like Big cities and tropical settings. I have a huge travel bug, but I travel vicariously through books now. New York City is beautiful, have visited in 2005 and 2007, so much fun people watching!
    I've read both books, and they are great. Congrats!
