“I shouldn’t go. Tell me I shouldn’t go.”
“Why? Hasn’t Vegas always been on your must do before I die list?”
“Yeah. But… this trip has strings attached. I’m not going to Sin City to indulge. I’d be going to chaperone Chelsey. Kevin offered me a fully paid vacation if I agree to help him keep an eye on the menace.”
I smirked as he mentioned his best friend’s little sister. The two of them in Vegas would be wild, crazy and a recipe for disaster.
“You should definitely go,” I said before sipping some much-needed caffeine.
“Really?” He swiveled and faced me. His mop of dark hair covered his forehead. “You don’t think me in Vegas is a bad idea?”
“It’s a horrible idea, but that’s never stopped you from doing something you want. If I say don’t go, you’ll go. If I told you to let the Lockets handle their own drama queen, you’d still go.” I yawned and stretched. “Honestly, I’m not sure why you’re here.”
He laughed. “I’m here because I knew you’d tell me to go, and that means I can’t cover your shift this weekend. I’ll be in Vegas baby!”
“Get out!” I pointed towards the door. “Don’t come back until you’re ready to babysit,” I half yelled, half whispered as he retreated.
The front door closed. I took another large swallow before setting the cup down. No longer tired, I figured it was time for a shower. I stood and noticed my wife enter the room.
“Is he gone?”
I nodded. Now fully awake, I feasted my eyes on her naked body. My long legs ate the distance between us in two strides and her full hips filled my hands.
“I overhead part of the conversation.” She shook her head and long black tendrils curled around her breasts. “One day, that boy will meet his match.”
“I wouldn’t put it past O to come back from Sin City married,” I joked.
“Married life isn’t so bad.” She winked, grabbed my hand and tugged me towards our bedroom. “When you marry the right person,” she added.
“I couldn’t agree more.”

Author Note
The big flirt series started as a story I wrote with help from my newsletter subscribers. I was thrilled with their recommendations and loved the characters so much, I turned one small town romance into a series. I had a blast writing this steamy, curvy woman, small town, blue collar romance, and I hope you had fun reading it.
There are more Kruz men waiting to have their stories told. Stay tuned for more and flip the page to get a sneak peek at BIG YES: Owen and Chelsey’s love story.

Sneak Peek: BIG FLIRT BOOK 3
BIG YES
VEGAS BABY is only a saying, right?
Love and marriage are traps other people get caught in. Not me.
My best friend sent me to Sin City to protect his little sister from guys like me and deliver her back to school, but she’s got other plans.
Chelsey is all grown up with a curvy body built for sin, a wild and impulsive attitude, and a mouth that finds trouble.
The only way to stop her from making a huge mistake is to make an even bigger one.
When I place the ring on her finger, I’m gambling with my heart.
She might believe what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but I’m all in and playing for keeps.

About the Author
KRISTEN ECHO
I am a lover of romance stories. I write passionate love stories that are both sexy and dirty. My books will make you feel more than a little naughty in all the right places.
I live in Manitoba, Canada where I spend any free time with my two lovely little girls and the love of my life. When I’m not writing, you can find me contemplating life’s mysteries with my hands wrapped around a cup of coffee, or with my nose stuck in a sizzling hot romance.
I’m a Canadian, so of course I love hockey. The Winnipeg Jets are my home team and will forever hold a special place in my heart. But my true love is football. Sorry, Canadian Football League—I’m a diehard NFL fan. Blue and orange are my colors.
