Collide

by Jessica Arden

Zadie’s the girl he isn’t supposed to want. And she’s just hijacked Sean’s solo ride on the High Roller observation wheel.


Collide is a 4400 word short story originally published in the Vegas Strong Anthology about the kind of serendipitous moments that happen in Las Vegas and two people whose eyes met across the library searching for a way to rebuilding after tragedies of their own.

About the author

Jessica Arden writes cozy mysteries, and quirky contemporary romance, usually with a supernatural twist. She’s stomped grapes in her native California, hiked 350 miles on an ancient pilgrimage route in Spain, had breakfast with a coatimundi in Costa Rica, and spent the night in a monastery. But no matter where life takes her, her true north will always be with her husband and two energetic boys.

When she’s not writing, you can find Jessica teaching, designing graphics, logos, and book covers, making crafts (she’s currently obsessed with vinyl and stickers), reading tarot cards for her characters, and working on non-fiction projects.

Jessica also writes non-fiction for writers, including Tarot for Fiction Writers as Jessica Arden Cline.

This is such a sweet story! I always love Jessica Arden's quirky, witty love stories, and this was no exception. I'm impressed by how much emotion she packed into this short story. I can clearly imagine these two likeable characters riding off into the Vegas night together.
