Book excerpt: Max Reynolds wants one thing--to find the family of the father he never knew, the father who didn't want him. But Max's goal is cast aside when he is diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. And worse yet, his oncology nurse is meddlesome Heather Watson--the woman who destroyed his hope of marrying the woman he loved. Heather finds a challenge in guiding her friend's neglectful ex-boyfriend through his fight against cancer. To their surprise, romantic sparks fly between them. But Max faces a critical health decision, and Heather must meddle one last time, risking her heart on a long shot chance to give Max a future, with or without her. Will he win his battle with cancer only to lose a chance at love?
