Book excerpt: It starts as a favor for a sick friend. Chloe Brecken totally doesn't expect to spend an evening as a high-priced escort out on the Las Vegas Strip with a billionaire. Her day job is all about selling top-of-the-line luxury sports cars. But when her best friend from forever reveals she desperately needs a kidney to survive and has been moonlighting as an escort to meet her medical expenses, Chloe agrees to stand in for her on date at the grand opening of a brand new luxury casino. Jordan Beale doesn't expect anything more from his date with an escort than a beautiful woman on his arm during the grand opening gala of his NEON resort casino. He definitely doesn't expect a substitute escort who's really a top saleswoman in a sports car showroom and who matches his passions for classic cars, tiny diners, enormous hamburgers, and Las Vegas itself. Neither of them are expecting anything that lasts past the night of the gala. They're both loners, wary of relationships, and they're both married to their careers. But when events conspire to throw them into each others' paths again, and the attraction is too strong to deny, can two commitment-phobic loners find a way to make it work?
