Summary
She looked over at him, startled, but Abbot wasn’t looking at her face, he was looking at her hands where they rested on the table, or maybe at something past her hands that she couldn’t see. “I thought— I mean, you wear a wedding ring,” she said hesitantly.
He looked up at Mohan, keen-eyed and sharp. “Well, I wear dog tags, too,” he said.
~~~~
Abbot and Mohan's unspoken situationship gets out of hand at work, and Mohan suggests a private conversation.
Whether or not any actual talking gets done is another question, though.- Language:

Summary
Jack Abbot was very clearly not the kind of guy that Samira Mohan was into.
Which was fine. There was a whole laundry list of reasons that women didn’t flock to Jack Abbot. He was too short: women expected alphas to be taller. He was approaching fifty. He had a job he was completely dedicated to that did not lend itself to a normal sleeping cycle— or a normal life, for that matter. He had one factory-model leg and one titanium and carbon fiber aftermarket fix for a right-side BKA he’d undergone in Germany. He was chock-full of C-PTSD and anxiety and depression and maladaptive coping mechanisms that ten years of therapy had finally put a slight dent in. He had a wife named Maggie who’d been dead for almost seven years. And he hadn’t had sex in those seven years, apart from the handful of emergency DRIs he’d been able to help with here at the Pitt.
----------
Abbot is the Pitt's emergency contact for designation-related incidents.
Mohan doesn't quite know how she feels about that.
Until, one day, she finds that she needs him.- Language:

Summary
“I’ll admit him upstairs. Recommend an ablation within 48 hours.”
“You have a talent for saying what I’m already thinking.” Jack said.
Her dark eyes fixed on him then. Really fixed on him. Without the chaos of the erratic monitor, without the rush of stabilizing the patient, there was a quiet intensity to her gaze that sent a slow tingle down his spine. She gave him a slow, deliberate once-over, taking her time, her smile shifting into something nearly predatory.
“In that case, I’d better not say the next thing I’m thinking.” Her voice dipped, low and almost conspiratorial. “Might get us both in trouble.”
Jack’s pulse skipped again. From anyone else, that kind of directness would have felt reckless, maybe even arrogant. But from her, Jack found himself oddly charmed, utterly defenseless.
Or.... Jack Abbot's adventures in romance, with as many reverse tropes thrown in as author can fit.
