Mile High Weekend — Melinda Di Lorenzo

Ginnie Silver has always been a planner. Ever since her father walked out on her at twelve years old, she's scheduled everything down to the last detail. College education. Check. Rewarding career path. Check. Handsome husband. Check. So Ginnie never dreamed that the last four years of her life â€" the last four years of planning â€" would become a write off. But that's just what's happened. Twelve weeks ago, her husband had their marriage annulled â€" the last thing Ginnie would ever have expected. Now, she's on a solo trip to Vegas, determined to get the man out of her system. She only has two small problems. First, her former husband has decided to make the trip, too. And he's bringing a new friend. And a lot of questionable baggage. And second, her plane has made an unexpected stop in Nowheresville, USA. Oh. And there's the small matter of a third thing. Hot-bodied, pierced in all the wrong (or is it right?) places Quinn Mcdavid, who â€" for some unfathomable reason â€" seems to be following Ginnie around and getting her more than a little hot and bothered. Retired undercover cop, Quinn Mcdavid only took this job for something to keep his mind busy. His friend Jase needed a favor â€" keep an eye on his sister, Ginnie, while she takes some crazy, all-by-herself trip to Las Vegas. Quinn thought it sounded easy. Distracting. But easy and distracting don't even begin to describe the way Ginnie makes him feel. The straight-laced woman with the flashing green eyes is so much more than he bargained for. He's supposed to stay low and keep out of sight, but when Ginnie almost gets herself kicked off the plane (before she even gets on!) every protective instinct Quinn has kicks in, and he suddenly finds himself not only defending her, but sitting beside her in first class and helping her plot revenge on her jerk of an ex. He thinks their unexpected stopover in small town, USA, might give him a chance to break away from the attraction. Instead, it forces them even closer. And as the weekend passes, Quinn realizes there's a good chance that Ginnie needs protection from more than just herself. To do that, he'll have to keep her close. A chance at love and the risk of a broken heart. An unstable ex and a questionable history. Nothing is easy. Nothing is guaranteed. And as the heat rises…So do the stakes… When Quinn and Ginnie confront their pasts, can they avoid a collision with their present? Do they have any hope for a future? Or is this nothing more than a Mile High Weekend?
