Charlie King was the brains behind the design. Ophelia knew that throughout the hospital he was famous for having an IQ that was one point off Einstein’s. With Brock’s help, it had been his invention of a revolutionary new asthma inhaler that had catapulted the company into success. All hospitals in New Zealand and a few in Australia now contained Three Wise Men equipment, and there was talk of expanding the business to Europe and maybe even America.
The fact that stunned her the most was connected to the charity called We Three Kings that the brothers ran. The charity funded research into respiratory diseases, and it paid for wishes to come true for terminally-ill children. It also had a website with chat rooms where parents of sick children could talk to each other, as well as ask advice of doctors out of hours. The site had grown from having a few hundred members to around fifty thousand, and many parents found it a comfort to keep in contact with others who were also struggling to cope with looking after sick kids.
The three brothers were known to go on there under pseudonyms, and Ophelia had spoken many times to Caspar—the name Charlie King used online. That’s how he knew about her daughter. She hadn’t mentioned leaving the hospital though, had she? So he must have asked around to discover that piece of information. He was quite flirty online—strange when he appeared to be so inept at it in real life!
She sat back in her chair, her mind whirling. A few months ago, the New Zealand Herald had published an article on the three King brothers, praising them for their ceaseless charity work, as the guys all visited hospitals dressed as Ward Seven characters to cheer up sick kids.
The article had also stated they were thought to be billionaires, and that all three of them were single. Since then, she was sure they’d been inundated with women hoping to snag a rich husband. They must get propositioned hundreds of times a day.
And yet Charlie had known who she was, and had come to ask her out.
Okay, McDonald’s wasn’t exactly the romantic destination she would have picked, but she was deeply touched that he hadn’t assumed she’d just dump her daughter to go out with him. He’d included Summer in his plans, and that meant more to her than anything else he could have said or done.
Leaning on the table, she covered her mouth with her hands. She was going on a date with Charlie King, a gorgeous billionaire genius philanthropist who’d never eaten a chicken nugget in his life.
Oh my God. What was she going to wear?

Serenity Woods lives in the sub-tropical Northland of New Zealand with her wonderful husband and gorgeous teenage son. She writes hot and sultry contemporary romances with a happy ever after, and is a member of the Romance Writers of New Zealand. She would much rather immerse herself in reading or writing romance than do the dusting and ironing, which is why it’s not a great idea to pop round if you have any allergies.
