Twenty years on the job taught Dom Cassar one rule: never let anyone close enough to lose. The new kid on his rig is about to break it.
Dom is a burned-out paramedic running on black coffee and muscle memory, still carrying the partner he couldn’t save.
The last thing he wants is a bright-eyed rookie riding shotgun in the seat that’s sat empty for eighteen months.
Jonah Rask is everything Dom isn’t — warm, hungry, unguarded, and unfairly good at talking terrified strangers back from the edge. He’s also twenty years younger, freshly certified, and assigned to Dom for his training. Which makes wanting him a fireable offense for them both.
Trapped together twelve hours a shift, in a job that leaves nothing hidden, the wall between them cracks one impossible night at a time.
But Dom signs the evaluations that decide Jonah’s entire future — and the closer they get, the more they both stand to lose.
So when the worst call of Jonah’s life tears open a wound seven years deep, Dom does the only thing he knows to keep the kid safe.
He pushes him away.
To save each other, they’ll have to stop running — and let themselves be caught.
Take My Breath is a steamy, emotional MM romance and the first book in the Medic 6 series. Expect an age gap, a forbidden workplace slow burn, gut-deep hurt/comfort, and a hard-won happily ever after.
