    “Okay, that’s fine for your ex, but what will your family think?”
    “That I’ve moved on. At least no one will be asking me how I’m doing.”
    “So you want me to be your rebound guy?” This might be easier than he intended.
    “No, you’re going to be my pretend rebound guy. You wanted to show me all the cool sites anyway. I’m all yours. People will think I’m just fine, no one will ask me any questions, and Rick will get the hint that I’m not his anymore.”
    “What makes you think he checks your page?”
    “Trust me, he does. He’s been trying to make up for weeks.”
    “Make up with you?” Conner frowned at her. He didn’t want to lose another woman to a husband that didn’t deserve her. Nour had been married to a worthless man for years. It was painful to see. He wouldn’t watch this beautiful girl make the same mistake. “Isn’t your divorce final?”
    “It is, but he thinks he’s God’s gift to women, and he’ll want to make sure I’m miserable. Now I can show him I’m not.”
    “Aren’t you a therapist?”
    She nodded, her grin wide.
    “Isn’t this kind of twisted?”
    She shrugged. “Maybe. But I’ve been doing this long enough to know that everyone is allowed to do something crazy after a major breakup. This is mine. And it is mild compared to what some people do.”
    Conner had a fleeting thought that he hoped she’d do more crazy things with him than just pretend. He could be a good rebound guy. Then he wouldn’t feel guilty when he abandoned her for Nour. Because someday, Nour would come back to him. He’d make sure of it.
    They continued along the Nile as the sun rose and turned everything a luscious gold. Jessica stayed close to him. Conner loved the feel of her, and this new turn would certainly make it easy for him to slip in and win her emotions. The ex-husband though. He must be a real ass. He’d have Tommy do a background check and find out exactly what he was dealing with.

J essica really relaxed for the first time since she caught her lying bastard of a husband in bed with her colleague. With the sun warming everything, she realized she was in the land where civilization was born. The history in this country could take an entire lifetime to discover, and she’d managed to find a smoking hot rich guy who wanted to show it all to her. Maybe she wouldn’t miss Russia as much as she thought.
    The main thing about Conner was that there was no pressure. He was promising to show her around, and he had the resources to do it in style. This was all about fun. And fun was something she was in seriously short supply of and had been for a long time. Sure, Conner liked to stand a little too close. Down the road, something might develop, or they might have a more serious talk. At the moment though, he didn’t seem to be interested in anything more than a good time, and that suited her perfectly.
    Letting Rick know she’d moved on was an added bonus. Maybe if he saw her with another man, he’d leave her alone. Keeping her family off her back was just another perk. Her parents didn’t constantly check on her. Instead they put her older sister on that job. Julie fed all of Jessica’s secrets right into her mother’s ear. Thank goodness Julie was a Facebook addict.
    Really, there wasn’t a downside to letting Conner lavish a little attention on her.
    She pointed to a large statue. “What’s that?”
    Conner shrugged. “No idea. There are literally thousands of those things all over the place here.”
    Jessica laughed. “You don’t make a very good tour guide.”
    “I’m not much of a history buff. I enjoy the scenery, but I don’t know all the details. We can hire a guide for the day if you want the nitty gritty stuff. You ready to land?”
    She shook her head. “I wish we could stay up here forever.”
    Conner yawned. “We’re heading to the Valley of the Kings once we land. Whenever you are ready.”
    She was disappointed to leave the air.
