A few years ago, at Romantic Times, a group of my author friends and I decided to do the zipline over Freemont Street in Las Vegas. A couple of us were nervous, a couple of us were doing research, and some of us were just along for the ride. (Although when it comes to being an author, most everything ends up being research)
Admittedly as they strapped us in, nervous butterflies swarmed through my stomach. Honestly, I think the cage-like elevator ride to the top was scarier than the actual ziplining. Anyway, as we awaited our turns, we chatted and joked. Then it was time. Before long, we were soaring over Freemont Street, lights above, people below. And at the end, we all talked about how it wasn’t scary at all. In fact, it was a rather smooth ride (much smoother and slower than when I ziplined over the Royal Gorge with my teenager)
Thank goodness for friends who’ll do crazy things with you.
Pick up Until You’re Mine by Cindi Madsen for just 99¢!
You might’ve heard of me, Shane Knox, the guy who rose quickly through the MMA fighter ranks, only to crash just as fast. No one cares about personal reasons when it comes to losing fights and money. I’m determined to get back to where I was. For you to hear my name again. I’ve finally convinced the owner of Team Domination to take a chance and get me back in fighting—and winning—shape. What I didn’t bargain for is the guy’s spitfire of a daughter. Factor in her two professional-fighter brothers who are acting as my coaches and the fact that my career hangs in the balance, and Brooklyn’s the last girl I should be fantasizing about.
The closer we get, the more I want Brooklyn. The stakes are high, and I know there’s a big chance of both of us getting hurt, but I won’t stop until she’s mine.
