The plane overbooks leaving Tucker and Monica to find an alternate flight. They fly to London where they catch the Eurostar to Paris then continue across France to the Pyrenees burning up the rails in a hilarious erotic escapade. When Tucker is just about to reach the Promised Land with Monica, a dead man bearing a gift of unimaginable wealth drops in unannounced and inadvertently bestows a winning lottery ticket worth 120 million euros upon the unwitting man. It was foul play that brought the ticket into Tucker's possession; he's sure of it. He's also certain that killers are hot on their trail to reclaim it at any cost. He's told Monica nothing about this windfall of good luck, not because he has qualms about sharing the winnings, but because he's afraid that her knowing might put her in greater danger. Even so, if she learns about the ticket, she's bound to think he intends to cheat her out of her fair share of the winnings. Tucker has a dilemma. Give up the money for love or give up love for the money. It's a tough choice, or is it?Detour Paris is a hilarious, sexy, and thrilling romance from the point of view of a man.
