Alexithymia is a forbidden, age-gap MM romance between a surgeon and his patient. It is a slow burn with high tension and ends with a hard-earned HEA.
CASEY
Being a motocross racer who can’t feel physical pain definitely has its perks.
I take risks others won’t because I don’t fear getting hurt.
Not even when an accident leaves me in a heap on the dirt track, fighting for my life.
Which is how I meet Dr. Declan Porter,
an emotionally stunted, sexy-as-hell, absolute asshole of a surgeon.
Since I can’t leave this hospital bed for the foreseeable future, pushing Declan’s buttons seems like a great way to pass the time.
But eventually, it’s time for me to leave, and all I can think about is seeing him again.
He thinks we can’t cross that line because I’ll need him to stitch my body back together,
but I’m more interested in convincing him to take me apart.
DECLAN
I’ve never crossed a line with a patient.
Not even the one who accused me of sexual harassment a few years ago.
It’s never been an issue until hotshot motocross racer Casey McIntyre shows up in my OR.
The kid has an ego the size of a jetliner and the boldest mouth anyone’s ever used toward me.
I want to ignore him, or pass him off to my residents, but when the hospital CEO demands that I personally oversee Casey’s care, I know I'''m in trouble.
Nothing is worth losing my medical license for.
Especially a patient half my age with a career choice and congenital disorder that will require my specialized skillset in the future.
Casey is hellbent on getting under my skin, and the longer I’m around him, the more I start to think maybe I want him there.
Alexithymia is book 2 in the Doctor’s of Boston Memorial Series but can be read as a standalone.
