The Massage

By D.M. Pollock

He has it all: success, money, prestige, power, striking good looks still for a fifty-something, a high-profile life due to his highly respected political family, and finally his freedom from a loveless 25-year marriage. So why is Christopher Palmer always on edge, ready to punch a hole in his world, despite being able to pick and choose from the women falling over themselves for his attention and probably his money, hating them for it, and despising his life. He's tight as a drum and his workouts aren't helping; so, he decides to get a massage, the deep tissue kind his personal trainer has recommended. He finds a low-profile holistic health clinic so he goes unnoticed. Then he sees her, and she won't even look at him. The Massage takes you on the intense journey of two highly passionate older people, both with raw emotions and primal needs who have each, for different reasons, had their lives on hold for 25 years. Chris is like a bottle of fine Champagne ready to be explosively uncorked. Somehow he knows Diana is the only one who can settle his restless soul. Diana gave up on romance a long time ago when she became a caregiver, resigned to live a quiet, loveless life. Then he comes into the clinic where she volunteers, and their lives really begin until something happens to tear them apart, and their lives are changed forever. The Massage ? is a retelling of The Warmth of the Sun ? from Chris's point of view. It is a standalone later-in-life contemporary romance. Explicit sex. Strong language.
