ROAD TRIP
Traveling Love Book 1
BY MARLA JOSEPHS

BLURB

Before her latest assignment, Morgan Andrews was certain she had the best job on the planet. She gets paid to travel the world, evaluate 5-star accommodations, fine dining, and exotic locales. Life just doesn’t get any better. But, it can get worse. Suddenly her job doesn’t feel so glamourous when she’s assigned to map out a road trip to Idaho for budget travelers. And, she won’t be going alone. She’s been paired on this assignment with Mr. Ladies Man himself, Avery Dalton, of all people. Resigned to her fate, she keeps reminding herself she just has to get through 7-8 days in a not so exotic locale with a man who’ll likely be too busy admiring himself to do his job. Then, she can go back to her more luxurious assignments. But, what if Avery isn’t the type of man she thought he was?

EXCERPT

Avery watched Morgan Andrews as she hurried into the room with that running late look about her. She wore a pinched, frustrated expression.

“You’re here. Good,” their boss, Randy Fletcher, said as Morgan hastily took a seat. “You remember Avery Dalton?”

She glanced sharply over to him before turning back to Randy.

“Yes. Sorry I’m late,” she replied before nodding in his direction quizzically. “Nice to see you again.”

Avery could tell she had no idea why he was here. He didn’t even think she’d noticed him when she first blew in. However, now she seemed even more apprehensive.

“As you know, we’re doing a push on more family and couple friendly stateside packages,” Randy began. “She nodded. He continued. “On this next assignment, I’ve decided to pair you with Avery.”

“Pair me?” she repeated, scrunching her face in confusion.

“Yes. You two will travel together on this assignment.”

“I…don’t understand,” she stated. Her brows furrowed even more, and she looked as if she simply was unable to understand the words coming out of Randy’s mouth.

“I’m assigning you and Avery to travel and work together on this new assignment,” Randy explained patiently.

“Why?” she blurted out, now looking both startled and confused.

“Two reasons,” Randy went on, oblivious to the note of alarm in her voice. “Avery has visited before. He also has family there who can help with which points of interest might be worth adding to a vacation package. He has a basic tour package already planned, but we need you guys to actually do the tour in order to refine it before we present it as a package deal.”

“It’s been a while since I visited and explored that area. Things have changed,” Avery added helpfully, watching her growing discomfort with a mixture of amusement and sympathy. She’d clearly not been expecting this.

“So…why do I need to go?” she asked.

“Female perspective,” Randy replied as if that explained things. “You’ll be able to find alternatives for women or couples who aren’t into the outdoorsy stuff.”

“Where exactly am I going?”

“Idaho.” Randy announced.

“Idaho?”

Her voice was blank, and there was that face again. Avery stifled a chuckle at her completely baffled expression.
