A small town romcom rec!ðð©·ðž
The Masseuse by MK Morrisðž available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!
Fish out of water Orchid Knight moved to Zinnia Cove, Georgia on a whim four months ago. Before packing up her little Ohio life, she spent all of it making others happy. Now, itâs her turn, but she doesnât know how to take a break from the task that was never hersâbeing an eternal ray of sunshine while carrying the burden of past failures.
At least progress has been made. Moving out of her brotherâs house was step one. Obtaining a business degree was step two. Step three, show yourself.
And it does. When he pops up.
Elliot Greer may have more skeletons in his closet than he can count, but this hard-working, solitude-seeking masseuse by day and security guard by night doesnât dwell on whatâs passed. He takes opportunity by the balls and creates his own luck. Usually with a beer in his hand and a smirk on his face.
But when a beautiful vision in a bathrobe with a temper identical to his enters his spa, a basic massage turns into the steamiest, most mind-boggling challenge of all time.
Author's note: This book is for every reader who has ever felt lost in life or in love, uprooted their lives and moved away on a whim, and for those who overthink their past failures. Consider Orchid Knight your new best friend. She gets it. And so do I.
