      Driving Chloe Wild - Anne Marsh

      The bride by the side of the Vegas highway stuck her thumb out when she spotted his truck. Hitching for a ride, he thought, when she should have been riding high in a limo. A bright red roller bag decorated with polka-dot duct tape peeked out from behind the enormous white mountain of her wedding dress. She shifted as he drew closer, waving her thumb frantically, and he caught a glimpse of pink Converse sneakers. It wasn’t a sight a man saw every day—and that was saying something, since Adrian Henry had spent the last two years working a Vegas firehouse. He’d seen plenty of things, some of which he would have given his right nut to unsee.

He respected her fuck you attitude, however. Whatever had happened to her, she’d done her crying and now she was getting on with living. Like him.

      His foot hesitated, shifting from the gas pedal
