A working class hero discovers his true family—and his true love—while saving a sick child in a romance that “will melt the most jaded of hearts” (Kirkus). Miami police officer Nick Martell doesn’t hesitate to be a bone marrow donor for Myles Harrison, a sick child he’s never met. But once in the heart of the wealthy Harrison family, Nick learns a shocking truth—he is actually a Harrison himself, born of a secret affair. Though the blue-collar bachelor struggles to accept the elite clan as his own, he’s compelled to stay for the sake of helping Myles…and for the connection he feels for the child’s beautiful nurse. Amanda Kozlov never felt such a strong and sudden passion for a man before. But she just can’t let herself fall for a guy like Nick. His life as a cop is too dangerous and the wounds from his explosive family history are too fresh. Yet after watching Nick bond with Myles and experiencing tenderness in his arms, Amanda longs to take a chance on the only man with the power to shatter her heart. As drama swirls around them, only time will tell if they’re brave enough to give their love the future it deserves. . .
