Unlicensed Massage Therapy
A massage therapist and musician inherits a dying friend's last wish: complete the cross-country journey she planned, and finish the book on love she'd only begun.
"The sexiness is a vehicle for an amazing story. Couldn't put it down."

"It's horny, it's a little raw, and it's got a surprising amount of soul. Come for the premise, stay for the heart."

"Thought provoking and spicy! What a lovely combination."

"Most people have not been the beneficiaries of a positive vision of what's possible in love and sex — how good it can be, how right it can be, how free it can make all involved."
In a sunlit Denver studio, Silk practices a rare kind of healing — consent-forward, unhurried, attentive to what each person actually needs. When his friend Sharon dies, she leaves him money, a route, and a charge: take the year-long journey she designed and write the book about love and sex she couldn't finish.
