The Physical

At twenty-nine, Bobby Mercer thought he had his life figured out. The job, the girl, the future—all laid out like blueprints. A mandatory physical is just another item on his to-do list, a sterile nuisance before he can get back to the life he's built.

But Dr. Lucas Jackson is no nuisance. He's a force of nature disguised in a lab coat, with piercing eyes and hands that command and awaken. During a routine prostate exam, Bobby's body betrays him in a way that shatters his identity. It's a jolt, a floodgate of sensation so alien and overwhelming it leaves him reeling, confused, and terrifyingly hungry for more.

Suddenly, the simple life he shared with his girlfriend feels like a lie. Every touch from her is a reminder of the electric touch of another man. Dr. Jackson offers a cure: weekly "follow-up appointments" to explore the new, uncharted territory of Bobby's desires. It's supposed to be clinical. It's supposed to be an examination. But each meeting pulls Bobby deeper into a world of raw intensity and a pleasure so profound it threatens to consume him completely.

His body knows what it wants. But can Bobby surrender to the one man who's turned his entire world inside out? Or will the unbearable weight of his double life crush him before he can find out?
