Subject: Worry
    You're
giving me heart palpitations, Chloe. Me, Miss Never Have a Care. I
really don't like this
new life. But now with my father gone, I don't have any choice. Do you
have a better idea that
will save the station?

As
to the month, you produced Kate's big golf show in two weeks. I don't
see a problem.

Subject: Will do
    All
right. I'll do everything I can to ensure the success of the new show.
I've already scheduled
short promos to run announcing the cattle call for talent.
We'll announce it on the news.
Kate, I'd like you to say something on Getting Real . We'll certainly get
the word out. I just can't imagine any woman in her right mind would
want to do this.

So she was wrong.

The line of men and women vying to be on KTEX TV's new reality show, The Catch and His Dozen Texas Roses ,
snaked around the building and down the street. From all appearances,
West Texas's
entire eighreen-to-thirty-four-year-old demographic had turned out, and
not a few fifty and older were mixed into the line.

Did these people have no pride? Chloe wondered as she sat at the long
folding table in what had been, until an hour ago, the lunchroom at
KTEX. Now it was the interview room, hastily set up to accommodate the
hundreds of men and women who had turned out to vie for their fifteen
minutesâor two weeksâof fame.

Trey Tanner sat next to her.

"I don't think we'll have trouble getting our bachelor or our twelve
Roses," he remarked, his dark eyes glittering with humor.

Sitting next to him was bad enough. Having him smile at her made her
want to scream. Scream in frustration over the way her heart sped up.
She was not allowed to feel anything for the man. She was supposed to
be doing mental penance for her complete and utter lack of good sense
last week. But whenever her gaze happened on him, she couldn't help
herself from glancing at his mouth. The only
thing that saved her was that every time he opened that very same

arrogant and autocratic came out that made her think CEO instead of
underling. This man didn't act
like he knew the first thing about taking orders from anyone.

"What?" he asked, breaking into her thoughts.

"Nothing." She shook her head and refocused on
