This was a tough
one. I’ve been on some amazing trips. I finally decided to ask myself one
question. If I could only take trips to one place for the rest of my life,
where would it be? I chose Hawaii.
My husband and I
honeymooned there and my nephew was married there. When my husband and I went
there on our honeymoon we tried to do everything. We started out on the big
island of Hawaii and ended up in Oaho. My husband is a World War II history
buff and could essentially live at Pearl Harbor when we visit.
I love
everything about the islands. There is so much to see and do. There are also
amazing locations where you can do nothing. It is a combination of beautiful
scenery, rich history and vibrant culture.

Blurb: Love
hits the jackpot in these six seductive tales, each set in a different decade
in the hottest, wildest, most sinful of cities - Las Vegas. In Elizabeth
Spaur’s Miss Atomic Bomb, a beauty pageant brings a cowboy and
city girl together. A desperate singer finds new hope with a not-so-jaded
casino owner in B.A. McIntosh’s Home
at Last. In Lynn Crain’s, Hooked on a Feeling, two
Vietnam vets get a second chance at love while facing enemies at home. A
rodeo star falls hard for a showgirl in Diane Deeds’s Total
Eclipse of the Heart. In Kay Phoenix’s An
Unexpected Knight, a hero on a mighty steed captures the heroine’s heart.
A good girl learns that being bad can be very, very good in Tami Cowden’s It
Happened One Vegas Night. Mobsters and G-men, cowboys and
showgirls, singers and dancers, and even a knight in shining armor all find
that Sin City is not just a place to have fun – but also a great place to fall
in love.

Excerpt:
Las Vegas, September 1953
Lily
Genarro’s career as a Las Vegas showgirl lasted a total of five minutes and
thirty-six seconds. Unfortunately, it didn’t end the way she’d hoped. She made
sure her fan kick went left when it was supposed to go right. What she hadn’t
intended was for the buckle of her shoe to hook Mary Ellen Pinski’s feathered
headdress. A second later the entire chorus line went down like a row of
rainbow feathered dominoes. She tried to slink away, but her shoe was still
attached to a string of bright red feathers. Instead of escaping backstage, she
found herself face first on the floor, trying to decide which was worse – being
caught in the middle of a mob war in Chicago or living with an uncle in Las Vegas
who was sure all her problems would be solved if she was a star.
An
hour later, she sat in her Uncle Tony’s office while the show’s director fired
her, without actually saying the words. She twirled a black curl around her
finger, trying not to show how happy she was that at least one thing had gone
the way she’d wanted tonight.
“I’m
sure you can understand, Lily. We simply can’t risk another…incident like
this.” Myron Lynch shuddered and glanced out of the corner of his eye at Tony
Genarro, the owner of the casino and hotel. Myron mopped his brow with one hand
and leaned in to pat her knee with the other.
Lily
shifted back slightly. She’d nicknamed the mousey little man Myron Drench, due
to his unfortunate tendency to sweat and, right now he was dangerously close to
dripping all over her.
“Four
of the girls are out for at least two weeks. Mary Ellen has a concussion,”
Myron continued.
“A
concussion?” Tony raised an eyebrow. “From falling down?”
“Well,
no.” Myron brought his handkerchief to his face again, although she didn’t
understand why. By now it was so wet it couldn’t do anything to stop more
moisture from trickling down his forehead. “Apparently, when your niece tripped
trying to get off stage, she kicked Mary Ellen in the head, and knocked her out.”
He started to twitch, glancing back and forth from Lily to Tony.
