An act of kindness leads to love when a bone marrow donor falls for his recipient's nurse.Miami police officer Nick Martell thought he was helping a stranger, but his mother reveals that the cancer patient, Myles, is actually the grandson of his own biological father, Charles Harrison II, who doesn't know he exists. Now he's traveling to Long Island to meet his half brother, Charles Harrison III, who will do anything to save his son, their other three siblings, and--if he dares--his father. At his half brother's home, he meets Amanda Kozlov, Myles' beautiful nurse. Their attraction is instantaneous, but they both know that a long-distance relationship is out of the question--especially while Amanda is working for his family. Nick's shaky relationship with the Harrison clan is so intense that it initially overshadows his relationship with Amanda. But as soon as he gets comfortable, he and Amanda slip away for a secret rendezvous that shakes things up in a good way. Amanda has misgivings about dating a cop, but Nick's more urgent concern is getting through his surgery and learning to trust his new family. Amanda will have to temper her nurturing instinct with patience while he sorts it all out. But even heroes like Nick need a little support, and Amanda's bedside manner seems to be just what the doctor ordered. In a bonus novella, Nick's youngest brother, Pierce, and his bride, Abby, have their dream wedding.This sweet story of two people bonding over a sick child will melt the most jaded of hearts.

Starred review from January 8, 2018
Gracen wraps up her Harrisons contemporary series with this heart-stealing fifth novel (after Between You and Me), cementing her reputation as a writer to watch. When honorable Florida cop Nick Martell gets a call saying his bone marrow is a match for a child with cancer, he doesn’t hesitate to donate. But when he tells his parents who that child is, they drop a bombshell on him: he’s a match for young, eminently brave Myles because biologically he’s the boy’s uncle. Nick was the product of a brief affair between Nick’s mother, Maria, and ruthless billionaire Charles Harrison II, the patriarch of a big-money family (and a thoroughly loathsome character). As Nick struggles with his new reality, he sees a bright spot in the tumble of new Harrison relatives and realities: Amanda Kozlov, Myles’s beautiful private-duty nurse. After Amanda witnessed a police widow’s breakdown in the ER, she made one ironclad dating rule for herself: no first responders. But as she observes Nick’s tenderness with Myles, Amanda can’t help breaking that rule. Gracen’s appealing tale makes it nearly impossible to say goodbye to a complicated family whom readers have come to love. To soften the blow, Gracen includes a bonus novella in this volume. Her hot yet sweet treat is headed for many a keeper shelf. Agent: Stephany Evans, Ayesha Pande Literary.

The Harrison family saga, including Between You and Me (2017), comes to a close in Gracen's fantastic finale. Nick Martell has a great family and a burgeoning career in the Miami Police Department. He's eager to help a young boy in dire need of a bone-marrow transplant, but when he tells his mom Myles is part of the Harrison family, she faints. Nick then discovers that his biological dad, who was previously thought to be some nobody, is none other than the Harrison patriarch. Struggling to understand his new family of half siblings, all of whom are insanely wealthy, he finds respite with Amanda, the nurse tending to Myles. Their connection is electric, but they keep things casual, given all the drama surrounding both of their lives. But how low-key can they remain when they're truly falling in love? Gracen closes out the Harrison series with a bang. Readers will want to read the entire series, but those who start with this one won't be lost since Nick's experiences with the Harrisons subtly usher readers into their world.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
