“You can’t do this to me,” Julie Monroe cried as her small compact car slid yet again on the snow-covered highway. She let her foot off the gas, and turned into the skid, saying a prayer of thanks that she appeared to be the only car still on the road. “The only idiot,” she mumbled to herself.

She pressed on the gas and breathed out a sigh of relief when the car started forward in a straight line. Vermont born and bred, she used to driving in the snow. Of course, she usually didn’t drive a piece of shit with bald tires and no freaking power under the hood. The little car was all she’d been able to afford when she’d moved to Chicago. She missed her daddy’s four-wheel drive with chains and sandbags in the back end to give it weight. With that ride, she’d pretty much been able to go wherever she wanted during the long winter months.

Right now, she wanted to go home.

But she had promised a friend from high school, she’d attend her wedding. The nuptials were to take place in a small town about two hours from Chicago. She now regretted the decision. Give her a quiet night in front of a fire with a good book and she was happy. Well, content. In her picture-perfect world, there was a gorgeous man beside her, vowing to love her forever and act out a few of the scenes from her favorite erotic romance novels.

She smiled, the thought relieving some of her stress. If she was going to dream, she might as well dream big. She was twenty-eight years old, and she hadn’t had a date in over two years. The last time she’d been out with a man… she wouldn’t call what happened a date.

She’d agreed to go out for coffee—which she didn’t particularly like—with a friend of a friend. She should have known when he suggested meeting at a fast food restaurant that the evening had disaster written all over it. He hadn’t been very appreciative of her comfortable slacks and beige sweater set. What had he expected? Four-inch heels and a see-through blouse? She’d come straight from work—straight from a dull office job at an even duller company. Nor had he been a big fan of her curves. She’d seen the disappointment in his eyes when he’d realized the chubby woman walking towards him was his blind date. The nail in the coffin of the DOA date was when he hadn’t even offered to pay for her coffee at the local Mickey D’s. If a man couldn’t spring for a ninety-nine cent cup of coffee…

She’d moved to the windy city to pursue another of her dreams—working for an ad agency. She no longer worked at a dull office job so she should be grateful. The change in location when she’d moved to Chicago hadn’t jumped started her love life, though.

Well, having one out of two dreams come true wasn’t bad.

Driving under an empty overpass, Julie read the sign that indicated her turn off was only a couple of miles away.
