Blurb:
With his
health deteriorating and his spirit dying, Justin Cushman has come home to the
Finger Lakes to assist his injured nephew Joel. Sick of accumulating wealth for
its own sake, Justin knows that his life is meaningless without a loving
relationship and a purpose for his billions. On a whim, he visits Joel’s spa,
looking for a massage to relieve his pain. Gianessa Dupioni is a gifted
masseuse who starts the boss’s irritable uncle on a journey of health and
happiness. Too bad for Justin that Gianessa is devastated by personal losses
and strictly focused on rebuilding her career. Justin may be a master
strategist in the financial world, but can he persuade Gianessa to let love in?
“You know,”
Gianessa said, as she stroked his palm with her thumb, “I was prepared not to
like you. Look how that turned out.”
He
blustered. “Not like me?” He winked.
“The first
time I saw you, you were badgering Grace.” She leaned forward, leading with her
breasts. “That ticked me off.”
“And you
wore your hair in that French braid, which ticked me off.”
She gathered
her long, toffee tresses behind her shoulders. “You never said you didn’t like
my braid.”
“I wanted
from that first moment to get my hands in your hair. I plotted six ways to
Sunday to get rid of the braid.”
“My braid is
perfect for work. It feels elegant and simple, and it makes me feel put
together and focused.”
He caressed
her cheek and jaw and neck with eager fingers. “But you’re elegant and complex,
and I prefer you undone.”
