Seventeen years on the ER night shift have left nurse Wes empty, lonely, and stuck in the dark.
After the heartbreaking loss of a beloved patient, he breaks down in the parking garage, and his seasoned charge nurse hands him an address for an unmarked warehouse with orders to spend his long weekend feeling alive again.
That address hides a discreet, men-only bathhouse, where time in the main pool leads a kind stranger to gift him an expensive private session with the house masseur.
Ravi, a hulking and gorgeous werepanther, answers Wes's exhaustion with warm oil, gentle words, and a deep, unconventional massage that works past years of emotional armor.
Careful command and overwhelming pleasure hold the burned-out nurse at the brink until the weight of his loneliness finally eases.
In this hurt-comfort pairing of human and werepanther, surrender may be the remedy that lets him start living again.
