Claimed: A Slow Burn MM DDLB Age Play Romance (The Unclaimed #4)
Aspen Hartley
Thirty years old. Tattoo artist. The biggest person in every room he walks into. Otto has spent his entire adult life being misread. Too broad to be soft. Too steady to need holding. Every man he's ever shown the gentle side to has looked at his frame and decided it didn't fit.
So he hid it. Behind crossed arms and a low voice and a Discord server full of friends he holds together at three in the morning while nobody holds him.
Nolan Caldwell notices things other people miss.
Forty-three. Psychiatrist. The kind of man who eats stale Pop-Tarts for dinner, reads about lighthouse engineering until 2 AM, and tracks your sleeve adjustments across six weeks of shared bakery mornings without ever mentioning it. Four years ago, someone used his care to destroy him. He locked the door. He hasn't opened it since.
Then Otto Kealoha sat across from him in a booth, drank Earl Grey without making eye contact, and drew in a sketchbook he wouldn't let anyone see. And Nolan's hand reached for the back of a neck it had no business reaching for.
The biggest man in the room just needs someone whose hand doesn't flinch.
Claimed is the fourth and final book in The Unclaimed series. It features a Daddy/little dynamic woven into the fabric of everyday life, a tattoo artist who hides storybook forests in a locked drawer, a psychiatrist who researches zoning codes at midnight because he doesn't know how else to say "I see you," a father with Alzheimer's whose hands still remember wood, and a found family built from a Discord server and held together by voice memos and scones and showing up.
This is a full-length MM romance with high heat, a guaranteed HEA, and a stuffed elephant named Mr. Trunks who has never once been asked to explain himself.
Content warnings are included at the front of the book.
