His hands are on her body five days a week. It's his job. So why does every session feel like foreplay?
Olympic silver medalist Thea Marin used to fly across the ice. An injury ended all of it. Now she can barely walk without pain. Her skating career is over, her identity in ruins, and Dr. Evan Lang is her last chance at putting herself back together.
Evan is Denver's most elite physical therapist. Controlled. Commanding. Known for working miracles with impossible cases. He doesn't let patients get under his skin.
Then Thea walks into his clinic. Fierce. Guarded. Hiding her devastation behind walls of ice.
He sees through every one of them.
Five days a week, he pushes her body to its limits. Five days a week, she pushes back. The sessions are grueling, intimate, charged with something neither will name.
She's not supposed to want her physical therapist. He's not supposed to want her back.
They're both losing that fight.
Book 2 in the Bound By series, can be read as a standalone. A steamy forbidden medical hurt/comfort romance.
Touch is a factor of finding love and also rejection but we don’t know until it hits us upside the head sometimes. We are always afraid of what awaits us after a major injury if life we go on as it did before.
