When it comes to being a caregiver, Kym Knicely has been there and done that. Then she meets Charles Chaz Banks and soon learns that every caregiver situation is different. Chaz is older than Kym and a caregiver of his seven-year-old granddaughter, Chauncy, who is autistic. Although Kym’s attraction to Chaz is strong, she has to decide whether a romantic relationship can survive and thrive between two people at different stages in life.

Chaz has been married and divorced, and is a proud grandpa of a little girl with special needs. Just as meeting Kym has him wondering if he’s ready to take a second chance on love, he’s needed to take on a bigger role in his granddaughter’s life. Will he have to choose?

At thirty-six, Kym has never married and still wants someday to have a family. She was focused on her work, until Chaz burst into her life. But it’s bad timing. Can she have both love and her career? Does love really conquer all her fears? It’s a journey with a different set of rules that Kym has to play by if she and Chaz are to have their happily ever after and the family they envision.
