— Caretaking – You’re doing it wrong. —
Liam slept with his boss. Again. And lost his job because of it. Again. Set on changing his ways and tired of sleeping in his car, he applies for a job as a live-in caretaker, even though he has no experience in it whatsoever. He has a lot of practice in lying his way out of any situation though. Only problem is, his new boss – wheelchair bound owner of a sex hotel – is gay, cute, funny and oh, so fuckable! There is only one logical solution to Liam’s dilemma – pretending he’s straight. Brilliant!
When Ryan inherited his aunt’s B&B, he thought he’d hit the jackpot by changing it into a fetish sex hotel. Things didn’t go as planned though, all of his marketing efforts seem to fail, and the debt is mounting up. Being a wheelchair user doesn’t help in actively promoting his hotel, but his luck starts to change when he hires a new aide. Liam is open-minded, helpful and caring. All that Ryan needs from a caretaker to kickstart his business, but things would all be a lot simpler if he didn’t start crushing on his new employee. And even if, in some other dimension, Liam did return his feelings, how long can Ryan keep his fetish a secret?
The web of lies they weave around each other is more bondage than any of them enjoy.

What reviewers say:
Having never read a book that departs from the simple representations of characterizing an individual in a wheelchair and the obvious effects that has on both the person and their relationship I was stunned reading SPECIAL NEEDS. It was an educational experience for me. (...) Reading this book was like finding an unexpected gem. I am truly grateful for its existence and my having read it. - Vivian (Hearts on Fire Reviews)
If you are that person who is tired of straight-laced, vanilla man on man sex, tired of the same old kinks and looking for characters that aren’t afraid of role-play or to use some kinky toys (some that come in a scary fluffy package) then read on.
Of course, you also have to like characters that aren’t quite what you normally see in romance. Nothing about Liam and Ryan or their friends is considered normal. In fact crazy runs away from them as fast as it can. If you want to try something entirely different, then Special Needs is most definitely for you. - Larissa (Reviews by Jesse Wave)
