Downloading Off the Clock (Taming Hearts Club 3)
In surgery, he never falters. In love, he's flatlined.
Dr. Alex Tran's surgical record is flawless, his reputation impeccable. As Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Harborview General, he's built walls of perfection that nothing can penetrate—until a patient dies despite his technical excellence, sending him into a spiral of doubt. The last person he expects to witness his moment of weakness is Mason Belmont, the infuriatingly laid-back Physical Therapy Director whose easy confidence grates against Alex's rigid control.
Mason has always been drawn to challenging cases, and Dr. Tran might be his most complex yet. Beyond the surgeon's icy exterior, Mason recognizes a man desperately seeking release from the weight of responsibility. When their professional paths repeatedly cross, the tension between them evolves into something neither man can deny.
At The Taming Hearts Club, they discover an unexpected dynamic where Alex's need to surrender perfectly complements Mason's natural protective instincts. But as hospital politics and their conflicting approaches to patient care create professional complications, they must decide whether what happens after hours can survive the harsh fluorescent lights of day.
A slow-burn workplace romance featuring opposites attract, healing touch, and the discovery that sometimes the strongest people need someone strong enough to catch them when they fall.
