From the moment Colin Braugher meets millionaire Grady James, he has the other man's number -- spoiled, obnoxious, and worst of all, fake. Every word out of Grady's mouth sounds calculated, and Colin isn't going to fall for his insincere charm.  Grady has never cared about the Heart to Help Charity before, and Colin isn't going to stand by and let this important cause be used for Grady's self-aggrandizing.<br><br>For his part, Grady wants only the best for his grandmother's favorite charity. Confused by his cold reception, alone in a strange city, and fascinated by a man who seems to want nothing to do with him, Grady is at loose ends. Until Colin gives an inch, and Grady knows he can have so much more than that if Colin would only see the man he truly is ...

The Heart to Help

The week after that, Colin didn’t have time for Grady at all. He didn’t volunteer. He holed up in his bedroom, only taking a break when he needed a change of scenery and biked over to the library. Finals week always stressed him out. But this was the worst. This was it. If he wanted to graduate, he needed to ace everything. And since it was too stressful to think about the world outside of school, he devoted himself to the task, pouring all of his fear and anxiety and hope and energy into the exams and projects that would be used to judge him as a student and a person. Grady couldn’t be shut out completely, however, and he showed up three times. Each time he arrived with a gift for Elaine, coffee for Colin, and a new book or game for Noelle.
