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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
HOLY CHEMISTRY!! Penelope Ward has come through once again with an awesome book! I went into this book completely blind, my favorite way to read.
Wren McCallister, a massage therapist gets an alert from her job that a wealthy new client specifically wants to book with her. She goes to the client, Dax Moody's house expecting to give a massage but ends up causing one disaster after another.
Moody, very much lives up to his name. He is drop dead gorgeous, and mysterious. Add in the forbidden aspect and I am hooked. My reason for rating this book with four stars instead of five is because the beginning was a little frustrating. The dialogue was slightly unbelievable coming from a professional massage therapist. I pushed through though, and am SO GLAD I DID because the heat between these two characters is nuclear.
I read this entire book in one day and in one sitting. It was a fun, sometimes frustrating, emotional, and spicy read. All things that make up a great Penelope Ward book!
