Nana
Prah was born in Ghana, West Africa, raised in the US and currently resides in
Ghana where she loves her job as a writer and nurse educator. She has been
writing since she can remember (in her journal) and has been an avid reader of
romance novels since the eighth grade. She has finally been able to utilize the
years and years of inadvertent research into writing her own romance novels
where love always conquers all.
Enjoy the following excerpt for Midwife to Destiny:
Ora
focused on putting one foot in front of the other as if she were a one-year-old
learning how to walk. After turning the corner and seeing the back of his head,
she froze. She would know that head anywhere. He’d grown his hair out a little,
but his adorable, Will Smith ears gave him away. Initiating the process of pivoting
and sprinting out of the ED unnoticed sprang to mind when he turned around and
his gaze caught hers.
The
air became charged with tension and neither of them moved. Her heart threatened
to pop out of her chest with the force of each beat. The nurses stood between
them, looking back and forth as if they watched a tennis match. They didn’t
bother to hide their expressions of curiosity.
They’d
never seen Ora behave in such a manner. Not cool as a cucumber super nurse.
Like herself, they kept looking at the new doctor just because of his tall,
broad-shouldered, gorgeous stature. The past three years had matured him,
adding a few lines around his eyes and the new feature of a goatee with a
moustache changed his countenance a little. But otherwise, the same man she’d
met three years ago, at least in the physical sense, stood before her.
After an eternity, Ora snapped back to attention. “Akwaaba, Dr. Lartey. Welcome to the ward.” Madam Professional stuck out her hand for a handshake.
Her
words seemed to drag him out of his own stupor. “Uh….”
She
had rendered the man speechless. Ora’s gracious nature—that’s what she blamed
it on, anyway—took pity on him and she touched his shoulder. The contact sent
sensual awareness through her and she recoiled her hand.
“Hello,
Aurora. Please forgive me. It’s just that I’m a little surprised to see you.”
“Not
as much as I am,” she muttered, attempting to squash both the joy bubbling up
inside of her at seeing him again and the overwhelming sadness of what she’d
been missing for so long.
“Pardon
me?” he asked.
“I
didn’t expect to see you here. It’s a surprise to me, too.” She tried to smile,
but it came out contorted, as if she’d been able to have a painful, rocky bowel
movement after being constipated for seven days.
