Hands On

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Ninety days to rebuild his body. One forbidden temptation that could ruin them both. Marcus Reed is a Pro Bowl linebacker whose career is hanging by a thread. After a devastating knee injury and a lumbar disc issue threaten to permanently sideline him, his only shot at a comeback is an intensive, three-month rehabilitation program. Deeply closeted and terrified of losing the only life he knows, Marcus is vulnerable, volatile, and entirely at the mercy of his new physical therapist. Julian Park is control personified. As a lead physical therapy tech and former gymnast whose own athletic dreams were shattered by injury, Julian knows exactly what it takes to put a broken man back together. He is highly disciplined and fiercely protective of his professional boundaries. But as the grueling days turn into weeks, the sterile walls of the clinic become a pressure cooker. The routine of aquatic therapy, deep tissue massages, and agonizing physical limits gives way to a slow, undeniable burn. Every touch blurs the line between clinical necessity and raw desire. Crossing that line means a severe breach of medical ethics that could strip Julian of his license--and expose Marcus to a world that isn't ready for him. When the tension finally snaps, the fallout will force them to decide what they are truly willing to risk. Healing Marcus's body was the plan, but surviving the heat between them might be the hardest recovery of all.
