“What you need to do is plunge headfirst into trouble …”
“Forget the rules,” Travis said. “Just follow your instincts.”
Christine tilted her head to the side and opened her eyes. Travis was standing a kiss away from her. “What do your instincts tell you?” she asked.
“That I scared you because you don’t know what’s going to happen next. Well, I’ll give you a hint. It includes you and me naked on this screened-in porch.”
She gasped as the image flickered in her mind. It was daring and risky and … exciting.
She couldn’t see Travis’s expression. Was there a gleam of lust or triumph in his eyes? The porch was too dark, but she felt the tension in him. She grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him forward. Travis went willingly and their mouths collided.
The kiss was hot and hungry. Anticipation swirled inside her. Christine slid her hands under his shirt, enjoying the solid muscle beneath her fingertips.
Travis’s firm but gentle touch made her shiver as he undid the buttons on her blouse.
For once Christine didn’t want to think about the future. She only wanted to focus on this moment.
And for tonight Travis was hers …
This story idea was inspired by a list I made years ago, long before I heard of the terms “bucket list” or “leap list.” After graduating from high school, my twin sister and I, along with a few friends, got together one night and wrote lists of what we wanted to accomplish in a decade. We sealed the lists in an envelope and promptly forgot about it. Imagine our surprise when my twin sister sent us our dream lists ten years later!
Christine, the heroine of Wild Weekend, gets the same surprise when she uncovers her decade-old dream list. Unfortunately, nothing is crossed off that list. Life got in the way, but she’s giving herself one weekend in Vegas to change all that. However, nothing goes as planned, especially when she meets Travis Cain, a man who doesn’t need a list to have a wild time. She can’t allow Travis to distract her from her goals but he’s determined to give her an adventure of a lifetime.
Thanks for reading Christine and Travis’s story. Enjoy!

Epilogue
NEON LIGHTS FLICKERED inside the dark casino. The cold air was thick with cigarette smoke and the scent of sugary cocktails. Frank Sinatra blared from the loudspeakers.
So this is what hell looks like. Travis Cain automatically surveyed the room, although any sudden movement from the patrons was unlikely. Most of them were slumped in front of tables and slot machines, their expressions glazed over as they waited for something—anything—to happen. “There are other things I could be doing right now,” he muttered.
“True.” His friend Aaron nodded as he drank a fruity cocktail. “But how often do you get a chance to make money just by sitting around?”
Aaron made it sound so easy, but Travis was never good at sitting still. “Do you know what I could be doing right now? Wingsuit-flying
