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.

MY REVIEW
Wren's life as an independent massage therapist has lead her to some interesting places and has given her opportunities to meet interesting people. Then she meets her closed-off, moody but gorgeous would-be client, and her world is spun off its axis. Their very first meeting doesn't go quite the way her normal appointments go. Then the next doesn't go the way a regular appointment would go either. What does happen is Wren and Moody (Dax) form a connection neither had ever expected. But he's closed-off for a reason, so their connection will have to remain one that's full of longing and lingering, but never to be ignited. Until it is, and the effects are about as sad as you'd expect. Wren always knew this forbidden connection with this sad, beautiful man would end in heartbreak. Now she has the rest of her life to get over him. No problem...
Whew, talk about a slow burn with tension! The heat between Wren and Dax was smoldering from their very first meeting. I felt both their longing for each other, and both their pain when their real connection was revealed, the reason they could not be together was standing in the way of the feelings both obviously had...damn, but it was heartbreaking. Moody has the heart that I always expect from Penelope, all the heat in a true slow burn style, and at its core, an absolutely beautiful connection between two people who deserve to be happy and in love without any obstacles standing in the way.
