I love to travel - short trips, long trips (but, really, are any trips long
enough?), weekend trips and daytrips. I usually say 'anywhere with a beach', but
in reality if a trip involves a plane, train, car or cruise ship, I'm in - even
if a beach doesn't come with the visit! I also love coming home, because the
best thing about going on a trip is coming home to your own bed and your own
chair and your own cooking. We'll ignore the laundry for just a bit. Here are
five of my favorite places to visit:
Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
I know, this one isn't exotic, but it's home for me. I was raised in a small
town on a farm/ranch near the Lake of the Ozarks. RadioMan, bebe and I call Lake
Erie home now, but it's always so much fun to go back to Missouri, see the
extended family and spend an afternoon or three cruising Lake of the Ozarks on a
pontoon!
Chicago
I know, I know, traffic. But the train system is amazing and can get you
wherever you need to go without battling other cars or trucks. Plus, there is
Navy Pier with all the people watching anyone could ever want!
Mexico
Cozumel is one of my favorite places - ever. Seriously. It's warm, the locals
are friendly and the beaches are pristine. I absolutely love that I can wear
flip-flops all day, every day and no one cares!
Bermuda
Snorkling! It's a newfound pleasure, and I just might take up SCUBA, too.
Las Vegas
There is something other-worldly about Las Vegas. You get a taste of the
pyramids at the Luxor, there is a mini-Eiffel Tower, there is Cesar's Palace.
And on Fremont, you can walk outside with a neon roof over your head. Street
performers will greet you on the streets, and you can gamble all day and all
night if you want...or you can escape the crowds into the desert or the Grand
Canyon. It's amazing, and when I needed a place to set my Billionaire Cowboy's
series I knew Vegas had to be part of it!
So, dear readers, if you could vacation anywhere, what destination would
you choose and why?
Once upon a time, Kristina Knight spent her days running from car
crash to fire to meetings with local police—no, she wasn't a troublemaker,
she was a journalist. When the opportunity to focus a bit of energy on the
stories in her head, she jumped at it. And she's never looked back. Now she
writes magazine articles by day and romance novels with spice by night. She
lives on Lake Erie with her husband, three–year–old daughter, and
twenty–year–old fur–kid. Happily ever after.
Denver publishing heiress Miranda Clayton craves more from life than society
parties and shopping sprees, but her tycoon father refuses to take her
seriously. Her solution? Beat him at his own game by going to work for his top
competitor, Connor Reeves, in Las Vegas.
Connor isn't fooled by Miranda's new plan for a second. He knows exactly who
she is; what he doesn't know is why she's pulling him into her games. After
their first meeting, Connor knows what he wants - Miranda in his bed! But the
more he's around his new vice president, the more he wants something deeper than
a short-term fling. The question is does the lady want Connor - or his business?
