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.

Prologue Before
Julia
Meet me at my locker. Can’t wait to c u. OK, I reply back to the text with a grin. Five minutes later the bell rings, and I hand in my essay and dash out of class. A sea of maroon and green uniforms greet me in the hallway, girls in crisp pleated skirts and knee socks, guys in khakis and blazers. Welcome to Bellemeade Prep, a private school for the rich. I avoid a cluster of students, stumbling and nearly losing my backpack as I hurry. Giddiness races over me, and for a second, I feel goofy for the excitement, then shove it away. He’s a piece of nirvana in a world I don’t belong in. It’s okay to feel as if I’m floating. I’m in love with him. And today is the day. We’re going to do it. It’s been weeks of hot glances, erotic kisses, and his fingers in my panties in every private place we could find. The gym. The drama room. The yearbook room. Once in the cafeteria while I sat in his lap with a coat over my skirt. The crowd parts and I see him leaning against his locker. My breath catches. Dark red hair frames a face that angels carved. Angular jawline, lush lips, piercing topaz eyes. His lashes are long and dark and dramatically thick. He’s not a pale redhead. His skin is golden. Like a lion. He could have any girl here. I’m not the pretty cheerleader. Or the social butterfly. Or rich. “Hey, gorgeous. Finally.” He smiles as he curls his arms around my waist and gazes soulfully into my eyes. “Hey,” I breathe. “School’s over. Wanna go take a ride in the Aston Martin? We can put the top down and go wherever you want.” His eyes lower. “Do anything you want.” I don’t even have to think about it. “Okay.” His fingers playfully untie the black ribbon around the neck of my shirt. He tugs it off, then unbuttons the top two buttons. His hand snakes in and presses against my sternum as we move closer and breathe each other in. We need to touch each other. It’s been this way since he sat next to me in poetry class after Christmas. He dips his head to my neck, then bites my ear. “I want to fuck you in that car.” I gasp as tingles erupt over my skin. I’m new to this school, but I’ve heard the rumors about him. That he’s the king of breakups. That he has sex with girls, then moves on. But they don’t know him like I do. He’s perfect boyfriend material . . .

Do I miss my family? Yes. Do I miss my priest? Unbearably so, but at least they are all safe.
Or so I thought.
When life gives you lemons, ask for tequila.
Only life gives me him. Again.
Jonah.
Now that I have him back I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure he’s happy. I know he’ll always put me first, but what he doesn’t realize is…
For him I’d sacrifice my life.
Warning: This is an M/M romance where a man of God has to decide what matters more: love or his beliefs. It contains mature situations, violence, and slurs. THIS IS NOT A BOOK ABOUT RELIGION, and there’s definitely some sinning going on. Be aware.
