He was supposed to fix Colt’s body. Not break him open entirely.

Colt “Wrecker” Maddox is the Portland Riptide’s enforcer — 6’3″ of reckless muscle, missing a tooth, and always sporting damage. He fights because fighting is the only thing keeping him on the roster. He plays through injuries because sitting means being replaced. And he has never, not once in his twenty-three years, let anyone close enough to see what’s underneath the bravado.

Then he takes a hit that tears his groin, and Dr. Nolan Greer — the team’s terrifyingly composed Director of Sports Medicine — pulls him from the game, puts him on a table, and issues an order that changes everything: 7 AM. Don’t be late. I won’t ask twice.

What follows is five weeks of mandatory daily rehabilitation sessions in a locked clinic at dawn. Nolan’s hands on Colt’s body every morning. The stretches that require Colt to stop fighting and let go. The low, authoritative voice that demands total honesty. And the praise — specific, earned, devastating — that rewires Colt’s nervous system and leaves him desperate for more.

Good boy. Take the pain for me.

The first time Colt says please, he’s never meant a word more in his life. The first time he says sir, he doesn’t even realize he’s said it. And by the time Nolan walks into the team showers fully dressed because he wants Colt to know this isn’t a lapse — it’s a choice — both of them are in too deep to pretend this is about rehabilitation.

But Colt has spent his whole life being used and discarded by organizations that valued his fists more than his body. And Nolan has spent twenty years on the correct side of every professional boundary. When the medical excuse for their daily sessions expires, Colt’s survival instincts scream what they’ve always screamed: if you’re not useful, you’re gone.

He’s wrong. And Nolan is going to prove it — with a house key, an open door, and the four words Colt has never heard from anyone who mattered: I’m proud of you.

The Recovery Position is a 49,000-word high-heat MM hockey romance featuring a reckless enforcer who’s never let anyone take care of him, a rigid sports medicine director who’s never let anyone past his armor, a treatment table that has seen things, an ice bath that changed everything, a hotel room in San Jose that readers will dog-ear, a gap-toothed grin that could end careers, and a guaranteed happily ever after built on earned trust, surrendered control, and the revolutionary act of being told you don’t have to earn love. Contains explicit MM content, praise kink, D/s dynamics, age gap, authority figure dynamics, emotional intensity, and two men who discover that the best protocol is the one that says you’re mine.
