About this book

Washed Up A decade of distance evaporates the moment she walks back into his life—literally wheeled through the ER doors where he works as a doctor. He's never forgotten Amanda, his best friend's mom and the woman he impulsively kissed before leaving for college, but seeing her again stirs up all those forbidden feelings he thought he'd buried. Now he's a man, not a boy, and Amanda is single for the first time in years—and he's determined to explore what might have always been between them. This steamy age-gap medical romance proves that some connections are worth the risk, no matter how long you've had to wait.

AI-generated synopsis

Spotify
yearningelectricbittersweetsensualnostalgic

Sultry indie and R&B with nostalgic undertones—slow-burn desire wrapped in the ache of rekindled connection. Think late-night vulnerability, smoldering tension, and the electric pull of second chances. Moody, sensual, intimate.
