Silent Cravings

But crossing the line between therapist and client? That’s a line neither of them should cross.

by Ryan Moore

by Ryan Moore (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Part of: Private Encounters (7 books)

Ethan doesn’t trust anyone—not after the betrayals that left him hardened, isolated, and convinced love is just another lie. Music is his only truth, his only release. But when his latest downward spiral lands him in therapist Jared’s office, something shifts. Jared sees more than the walls Ethan hides behind. He sees the pain. The anger. The raw need. And for the first time in years, Ethan feels… seen.

But crossing the line between therapist and client? That’s a line neither of them should cross.

Jared prides himself on professionalism. He’s spent years helping others heal, even while his own heart remains fractured from a bitter divorce. But Ethan’s fire pulls him in. Session after session, that spark grows hotter, threatening to burn through every boundary Jared swore he’d uphold.

When a chance meeting outside the office turns into a night of confessions, desire breaks free. And once the floodgates open, neither man can go back.

How do you let go of what’s forbidden—when it’s the only thing that makes you feel alive?
