Flaming Hearts — Susan Stoker

Becky and her mom used to watch reality shows together all the time. Her mom passed away before she could see Becky on her very own show…except it's not her own show. She has to share the limelight with another woman. They're both competing for the love and attention of the same men. It was like no show Becky had ever seen… and she was miserable. The best thing about the show was trying to irritate the other woman by choosing activities Becky knew she'd hate. Becky had no idea she'd meet a wonderful, protective man while on the show, unfortunately he wasn't a contestant.

Dean always knew he'd find the one woman meant for him, but he had no idea he'd find her competing on a reality show. He'd have to find a way to make sure she didn't choose any of the prospects on the show, but would decide to be with him instead. Luckily his brother was a cameraman; it was just the key to get to spend time with Becky, as long as the Director didn't catch wind of their plans.

Becky can't believe Dean would be interested in her; after all, she isn't anything special. For some reason he keeps coming back to see her and wants to talk to her every night on the phone. Their relationship becomes more solid just as Becky's time on the show becomes more tense. She's ready to call it quits, but she has a contract. Dean and Becky are counting the days until the reality show is over and they can spend time together openly when Dean gets called away on a job. When an incident on the show threatens her safety and Dean isn't around for her to turn to, Becky isn't sure their relationship can survive. Becky has to figure out a way to trust Dean to help her, and Dean will do whatever it takes for Becky to realize she's his…forever.
