    About this ebook

    After his boss at the hospital suggests he take a sabbatical for a much-needed rest, neurologist Geoff Spencer ends up at his friend’s cabin in Big Bear, California. But to Geoff’s surprise, his former lover is also there -- his friend’s brother, the beautiful Adrian Michels, a brooding artist and a “commitment-phobe” who broke Geoff’s heart years earlier before leaving unexpectedly for Europe.

    Now, Adrian suggests a no-strings affair while Geoff is with him in Big Bear. Although torn, Geoff eventually agrees. But what he really wants is for Adrian to be his -- Just His -- for eternity ...

      Just His

      By Shawn Lane

      Chapter 1

      Geoffrey Spencer hoped his beat-up old car would make it to Big Bear. Now that he was halfway up the mountain road he regretted the choice to bring his older car. At the time he’d chosen it, taking his old Honda sedan seemed the best course. It was a Honda and had always been a good car to him, despite all the miles on it, and his new BMW was…well, new. He didn’t want to put a lot of wear and tear on it.

      Only now, as the weather turned colder—when had the heater given out anyway—and the clouds above him thicker, Geoff imagined the old car making all kinds of weird noises. If it started to snow and the Honda quit on him, he would be seriously fucked.

      Or more fucked.

      He was on his way to Big Bear and Jezebel’s cabin for an extended sabbatical. She’d given him permission to stay in the family cabin for as long as he needed. He had no clue how long he needed.

      His boss at the hospital, the head of Neurology, had advised him to take two months off. He hadn’t wanted to go, but it had been strongly suggested he either take the sabbatical or look for a new hospital.

      Ouch.

      Geoff knew his bedside manner could take some getting used to, but he hadn’t realized things had gotten that bad before he’d been talked to. No one at the hospital liked him anymore, he’d been told. There had been not so discreet questions about drug use—Geoff didn’t—and alcoholism. He had been drinking more than usual, but he wasn’t an alcoholic, of that he was certain.

      So, what had caused his breakdown? Stress for sure. He’d lost a young patient to brain cancer—a patient for whom he had really come to care. He’d gotten the lecture from the head of Neurology then that he had to step back and not take everything so seriously, but it had rocked Geoff. There’d also been his brief affair with Micah Florentine, a nurse at the hospital. Geoff had admittedly fallen far more for Micah than the guy had for him. Which was not at all. Micah wanted nothing from Geoff but sex, and then had turned around and fallen for another doctor at the hospital, Linus Montgomery.

      Ouch.

      And then his dog had died and the plumbing in his house had needed fixing, which had cost a fortune. It had been one thing after another. Apparently, Geoff had let it affect his work.

      Thank God for Jezebel Michels, his friend since they were kids living
