Taking Care

Caught up in living the glamorous, big city life, novelist Jason Corlin didn't mean to neglect his family. He's only been away a few years, but his grandfather has...changed. Sure, he's a little forgetful, but an old folks' home? For the rock of his childhood? Not if Jason can help it. How hard can it be to look after a senior? Surely Richie's exaggerating every aspect of the old man's care.

Caring for a dementia patient like Gramps is more than even health provider Richie Miller can manage at home. If the elderly gent needs 'round the clock supervision at Serenity Gardens, that's where Richie will be too. Gramps is a handful for professionally trained staff, let alone a grandson who waltzes back home, convinced he can turn back time.

If Richie wasn't so stubborn about Gramps's needs, they'd be dating, not fighting. Or—if Jason wasn't delusional about his grandfather's abilities, they might find a future.

Reality checks for Jason devastate Richie: what if the caregiver needs to be cared for?

TAKING CAREis a standalone gay romance with an HEA.
