That’s why
it’s so important for us to find people like Clint, talent who is loyal to us
and trust you and me to lead them, to build and shape their career. The next
few years are gonna be all about puttin’ our team in place so that even if the
old-timers decide to move on, we’ll still be solid.”
    Evan wasn’t telling him anything they
hadn’t discussed before. That had always been their strategy moving forward,
and it was working. They had already signed Clint and a female artist who was
now touring with Ty to build her own fan following. They had their eye on
several others who should prove to be strong additions to their roster, but
Ryan knew his brother couldn’t leave anything to chance. He was the kind of
person who didn’t wait for things to happen; he made them happen.
    “Hey,” Evan said, pointing to Clint and
Brianna. “What the hell is that about? I didn’t know they were seein’ each
other.”
    “They weren’t. This is their first date.”
Ryan spit the words out, but Evan seemed too caught up in his own problems to
notice.
    “Huh, it looks like they’re really hittin’
it off, doesn’t it?”
    Ryan didn’t trust himself to respond, so he
said nothing.
    “That could be good for us.”
    “What the hell are you talkin’ about?” Ryan
didn’t see how Brianna getting involved with another man could be a good thing
for him.
    “It’ll mean Clint has permanent ties to
Titan. We’ve only got him locked down for two years, but if he and Bri get
married, we’d be damn sure he wasn’t goin’ anywhere.”
    Ryan nearly spewed a mouthful of beer at
his brother when he heard that mindless excuse for logic. “Married? Are you out
of your mind? This is their first date.”
    Evan shrugged. “Isn’t that how it starts,
with one date? You never know where it might lead.” He put his arm around
Ryan’s shoulders and leaned in, lowering his voice. “Do me a favor, talk him up
to her. Convince her he’s a good guy, that they’d be great together.”
    There was very little that Ryan wouldn’t do
for his family, but his brother’s request definitely made that short list.

    Brianna stood off to the side and listened
while Avery McCall, Titan’s publicist, gave Clint a run down on the type of
questions he would field at the impromptu press conference she’d scheduled in
just a few minutes.
    “J.T. said we could use his office,” Avery
said, making some notes on her tablet. “I thought it would be easier this way.
Even though we limited the press to a handful of people we trust, they want
details about your plans for the near future.” She smiled at Brianna. “And they
want to know whether those plans include you, my dear.”
    Since Avery had spent the majority of her career
working for Titan Records with Brianna’s father, Josh, they had many of the
same friends. Avery and Ty had been an extension of their family since Brianna
was a little girl.
    “Um, this is just our first date,” Brianna
said, blushing. Talk about scaring a guy off, putting him on the spot about
where the relationship was headed on their very first date. Granted, she wasn’t
the one asking, but that didn’t make it any less embarrassing.
    “But I’m sure hopin’ it won’t be our last,”
Clint said, grinning as he slipped his arm around Brianna’s waist.
    Brianna knew Clint was just being polite.
The man traveled the world, met new and interesting people every day. He would
probably have forgotten all about her by this time next week.
    “You two are so cute together,” Avery said,
smiling. “Talk about a P.R. person’s dream couple. Clint, you have this sweet,
sexy, good ol’ boy thing down, and Brianna’s your complete opposite… in a good
way.”
    Brianna raised an eyebrow at Avery’s
enthusiastic endorsement. “Let’s not get carried away with this. We don’t want
everyone talking about us by morning.”
    “I think it’s too late to prevent that,”
Avery said with a wave of her
