Love on a Limb (a Great Expectations Love Story, the Graykens: Book 1)
Matthew Grayken is young, successful, and dying, which is why he¿s about to propose to a total stranger. He isn¿t interested in love. He needs a caregiver, a companion, and someone to be his legal voice when he can no longer speak for himself.Lonely, compassionate nurse Mikaela Compton agrees to Matt¿s loveless marriage, but as friendship turns to love, she refuses to accept the inevitability of Matt¿s death. Instead, she prays for a miracle, and for a way to inspire Matt to fight for his life. She buys Christmas ornaments in September, mementoes of shared moments and future memories to be made. As the tree fills, Matt¿s dormant hope reignites, and he finds the will to fight, but his body is losing the battle. Matt needs a miracle, and Mikaela has a good idea where to find one, but it will require her to break the fundamental promise she made to Matt, and leave him when his need for her is greatest. She¿s about to learn that love sometimes means staying close, and sometimes love requires the courage to go out on a limb.
