SOLO MEDALIST WINNER

Love on a Limb, A Great Expectations Love Story, The Graykens: Book 1

by Laurie Lewis

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 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 she refuses to accept the inevitability of Matt’s death. Instead, she prays for a miracle, and buys Christmas ornaments in September, mementos of shared moments and future memories to be made. As the early Christmas tree fills, Matt’s dormant hope reignites, but his body is losing the battle. Matt needs a miracle, but it requires Mikaela 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..
