The first part of Wild Weekend, my May 2014 Harlequin Blaze, is set in Las Vegas. Christine goes there for a short trip to get out of her comfort zone. She does things she wouldn’t normally do like dress to attract attention, spend her hard-earned money, and have a one-night stand with a gorgeous stranger.
There are a couple of reasons why I chose to set part of the book in Sin City. First, there is so much to do! I went there a couple of years ago and I didn’t have nearly enough time to do everything. I didn’t even gamble (mainly because I am horrible at playing any card game!)
The other reason I set it in Vegas is because of the tourists. I noticed during my stay is that the visitors are ready to get out of their comfort zone. They will try new things, take risks and even have a few regrets. That is the perfect setting for my heroine, who needs to live it up. She is a little hesitant to try some things, but by the end of her weekend, she wants to do anything and everything.
