No girlfriend. No real home. No money to speak of. Raised in the system, he learned early not to trust people who seemed to have everything. So when he takes a job as a &#8220;muse&#8221; for a wealthy Minneapolis couple, it feels like crossing a line he never thought he would.<\/p>\n<p>Then he meets June.<\/p>\n<p>June is a bike tour guide with a quick smile, a calm confidence, and a way of making Flynn feel seen without being judged. Their connection is immediate and playful, built on shared humor, quiet moments, and a mutual longing for a simple life.<\/p>\n<p>As Flynn adjusts to his bizarre new job, he starts encountering something he never planned for: kindness without strings attached. It challenges everything he believes about money, power, and who gets to be comfortable in the world. And falling for June only complicates things, especially when it turns out she&#8217;s carrying secrets of her own.<\/p>\n<p>When June&#8217;s past surfaces, Flynn has to decide what scares him more: becoming someone he&#8217;s always sworn he&#8217;d never be or letting her see his darkest secrets. If he can&#8217;t let go of his fears, he might lose the one person who finally feels like home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find <em>The Muse\u00a0<\/em>on <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4aE7PG1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GOODREADS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Chain of Lakes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div data-post-id=\"79866\" class=\"insert-page insert-page-79866 \"><p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"79871\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=79871\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/The-Homemaker-5.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"200,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Homemaker\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/The-Homemaker-5.jpg?fit=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-79871\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/The-Homemaker-5.jpg?resize=80%2C122&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/The-Homemaker-5.jpg?resize=80%2C122&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/The-Homemaker-5.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=80%2C122&amp;ssl=1 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 80px) 100vw, 80px\" \/> \u00a0 <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"82224\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=82224\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/the-muse-1.jpg?fit=200%2C309&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"200,309\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"the muse\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/the-muse-1.jpg?fit=146%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-82224 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/the-muse-1.jpg?resize=80%2C122&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/the-muse-1.jpg?resize=80%2C122&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/the-muse-1.jpg?resize=146%2C225&amp;ssl=1 146w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 80px) 100vw, 80px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Homemaker (#1) <\/strong>(Murphy &amp;
