It Might Be You

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. (Mar.)
