Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 22, 2022
BLURB
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.

"I am a huge fan of Penelope Ward, so even without reading the blurb to this book I knew that I wanted to read it.
Right from the start there is a wonderful connection between Dax & Wren. Dax held himself back but you could just tell he was totally smitten with Wren. Every time it looked like they were going to cross that line Dax always put a halt to it. This pushed the angst right through the roof and it was so enjoyable to read.
It does eventually get revealed why he holds himself back, and honest I wouldn’t have guessed that twist coming in a gazillion years. It does and doesn’t make sense at the same time.
Their story spans a few years, so to me it really made the story all that more realistic, and that epilogue finished the whole story off beautifully.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book." ~Sharon
Dax and Wren's story is absolutely an engrossing, unputdownable, must read. I consumed this as fast as I could. I love it when characters have great banter and humor matched by their insane chemistry and Dax and Wren were off the charts. Their journey came with the perfect amount of angst and rounded out this story to make it worth way more than five stars. Another must read from Penelope Ward! ~Andrea
