The steadiest hands in the state. They haven’t stopped shaking all night.
Dr. Nathan Cross is a cardiac surgeon — fourteen-hour days, chest cavities opened, lives held in his palms. His hands are insured, celebrated, precise to the micron. But every night after the last patient is closed, there’s a tremor. Subtle. Private. The body’s truth breaking through clinical control.
One anonymous appointment. One night. One guide who doesn’t try to fix him.
Mak is patient, precise — a man who matches Nathan’s discipline with a calm that makes the surgeon feel, for the first time, like the one on the table. He doesn’t diagnose. He doesn’t treat. He just holds steady and lets Nathan’s hands do what they’ve been trying to do for years — reach.
The tremor was never a symptom. It was the answer.
What follows is Nathan’s first time with a man — a dark, scorching night that takes the most controlled hands in medicine and teaches them a different kind of touch. The straight-to-gay awakening he’d been misdiagnosing for years, delivered in a single anonymous encounter at a private club where no one knows his name.
RE/CLAIMED is a dark, explicit MM straight-to-gay first time romance featuring a forbidden awakening, anonymous encounter and total surrender. Book 3 in The Back Room series. Standalone. 18+.
