Graham Hayes decided long ago he’d never be in a relationship. It was better to stay single than to fall in love only to be left alone, which he was certain would happen to him. He’d seen Alzheimer’s ravage his family members all his life, leaving their loved ones to deal with the fallout. Some of them stayed, but some didn’t. Graham isn’t going to risk it.<br><br>When he hires nurse Sam Morgan to take care of his dad during the day, his pledge to stay single is put to the test.  He soon finds it difficult to maintain a professional distance. <br><br>Graham’s guarded his heart for so long, but his resolve is crumbling.  Will he be able to conquer his fear to give himself a chance at love? Can he trust Sam to stick around for better or worse?

A Love to Remember

“Everything’s ready,” Graham called needlessly, as the moment he’d laid the plates on the table, his dad hightailed it over. Well, “hightailed” might be pushing it, but he definitely shuffled quicker than usual.


They settled in and Graham tried to concentrate on his meal. But no matter how often he told himself to stop, he found himself staring at Sam. He was gorgeous. And so caring toward his dad, which only made Graham like him more. And that was a foreign feeling—liking someone. He wasn’t sure what to do with it.


“Have you been to a Royals’ game yet this year?” Sam asked.


His dad glanced at Graham, question in his eyes, so Graham answered. “No, he hasn’t been to one.”


“We should go to an early afternoon game sometime,” Sam offered.


His dad’s entire face lit up. “That would be great! Wouldn’t it, Graham?”
