imagination. The pretty little thing herself was walking toward him as if she was tiptoeing through a minefield.
    “I’ll have to remember not to wear my best shoes when I come here.” She shaded her eyes with her hand as she looked up at him.
    “It sounds like you plan on coming here often.” He grinned. That was fine by him.
    “You agree to do the show and I’ll be seeing you every day for eight weeks.”
    Hmm. Tempting and disappointing at the same time. “Darlin’, if that’s the only reason you’re here, I’m afraid you wasted your time.” Of course that was it. She wanted to see him about the damn show. Too bad. He’d hoped she was interested in more than just that.
    She smiled up at him sweetly. “Can’t blame a girl for trying, but no. That’s not the only reason I’m here.”
    Now they were getting somewhere. He dropped down to the ground next to her and leaned against the bed of the trailer. He watched her eyes drop to his bare chest before she finally raised them back to his face. Very interesting.
    “Why are you here then?” he asked.
    Mandy laughed, her brilliantly white teeth as dazzling as the rest of her. “I’m not really sure anymore. On my way over here to see you, I met a friend of your girlfriend’s at the diner. She pretty much told me to stay away from you.”
    “I don’t have a girlfriend in town.” That just figured. One indiscretion—all right, three months worth of indiscretions—with Sue Ann and she was going to try to ruin his life forever.
    “You sure about that, Jared?” She raised one perfect brow.
    “Very sure.” Jared’s blood pressure shot sky high.
    “The waitress thinks you do.” Mandy pursed her tempting heart-shaped lips but Jared could barely enjoy looking at them in his anger.
    Damn Misty, butting her nose in his business. Jared scowled. “The waitress is wrong.”
    Mandy watched him closely for a moment. “I’ve got a room at the Hideaway, heaven help me.” She rolled her eyes. “I’ll be staying there until I leave for LA tomorrow.”
    Jared had just been enjoying her very low opinion of their local motel, not that he blamed her, when she dropped the bomb about LA. He frowned. “You’re leaving tomorrow?”
    “Yes, I don’t have a reason to stay. Unless you give me one.” She waited expectantly.
    He drew in a deep breath. “I can’t agree to that show.”
    “Understood.” She turned to go.
    He put a hand on her elbow to stop her. “Wait. That’s it?”
    She turned back. “That’s all I’ve got to say. Do you have anything more to say?”
    This girl wasn’t going to make it easy on him, was she? First she tells him where she’s staying, and then she leaves? Talk about mixed signals. Things were just too damn confusing when women were in charge of them. He’d have to take control and get them back on track.
    “I’m gonna be at the bar right next to the Hideaway tonight. I’m meeting a friend there.”
    “A friend?” She raised a brow.
    He laughed. As if he would invite her to come if he was meeting a girl there. “A guy friend. Why don’t you walk over and join us there?”
    “Why? Are you willing to talk more about the show?”
    “Nope. But what else have you got to do? Oh, wait, I think the Hideaway might have free cable. Yeah, you probably will want to stay in tonight.” He watched the emotions dance across her face. She was definitely tempted. She was also stubborn as all hell.
    Finally, she let out a huff. “What time?”
    “Around eight.” Jared couldn’t suppress his smile. She turned to go without a word, but he wasn’t done yet. “See you there.”
    “Maybe, if I’m not too busy.” She didn’t even turn around to answer him, but just kept walking. That was fine. He enjoyed watching her ass move beneath her dress.
    Jared shook his head at himself. He was obviously insane. She was definitely one high-maintenance chick. She was going to make him work hard for it, if it ever ended up happening. Why did
