From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
The day I showed up to Dax Moody’s sprawling home, I had no idea what was coming.
As a traveling massage therapist, I was used to entering the houses of strangers.
But this assignment was different from any before it.
From the outside, I’d correctly assumed the owner was rich. What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.
Despite the fact that Dax had booked a massage, it never actually happened, since our first appointment was unexpectedly cut short by a comedy of errors.
Certain I’d never see him again after that day, I’d done nothing but think about the captivating man.
To my surprise, he called a second time. That appointment, we talked a lot, developing a stronger connection. But once again, there was no actual massage.
The man I now affectionately called “Moody” kept calling me to come back.
It took three times before I finally gave him the massage he’d ordered. Let’s just say it was challenging to keep things professional. I was extremely attracted to Dax, and by that time, I was falling hard.
Eventually, I’d find out why he’d been so aloof, the reason why he and I could never be together.
Our story was supposed to end there, but it didn’t.
Instead, I was left perpetually longing for a forbidden man.
REVIEW
I instantly loved the person Wren was. Wren was hard worker who was a musician and had a hard life. As a child she suffered like some people do but her life takes turns that some consider drastic and other consider a learning experience. While being a massage therapist has its ups and downs, Wren has met her match with Dax.
Dax had to be the person who was unlike his family. He had to live for him and not for his family and that made him the black sheep. While distant from his siblings and his mother made this hard, he found love in other places. As things change I’m his world there are decisions that he has to make for him and his son. Those decisions are questionable but when it comes to his family, he will stop at nothing to make sure they are happy.
Penelope Ward has done a fantastic job showing us redemption, love and trust. Dax and Wren were meant to be through everything thrown at them.
