Excerpt:
Will Sutherland settled into the corner leather booth and watched as Hallie Banks wound her way through the tables at Rise and Grind.Β
This little meeting shouldnβt already have him irritated, but it did. Will didnβt want to meet with Hallieβhe wanted to meet with her twin sister, Han- nah.Β
But obviously, Hannah Banks, country superstar and Americaβs sweetheart, couldnβt be bothered with such mundane things as setting up her recording schedule for the next album or going over the tour dates and venues.Β
Heβd only met her a handful of times in passing at various events within the industry. Will had al- ways found her attractive; heβd have to be dead not to. Hannah Banks could make any man do a double take and he was no different.Β
As far as knowing her personally, he couldnβt re- ally say much, but this first official meeting wasnβt going as planned.Β
Her selfish way of thinking might have worked for her old record label, but now that sheβd signed with Elite, she was going to have to accept the very real fact that she wasnβt in charge. He was.Β
Hallie offered a soft smile and reached to shake his hand. βGood morning. Have you been waiting long?βΒ
Will came to his feet and gripped her hand, sur- prised by how soft and delicate she seemed. He didnβt recall noticing Hallieβs hands before…and he shouldnβt be noticing them now.Β
Heβd already found himself fantasizing about Hallieβs sister, Hannah. The last thing he needed was an attraction to twins. That wouldnβt be good for business, and being attracted to either of them didnβt fit his professional style.Β
Hallie was more conservative in her wardrobe than her usual blinged-out sister. Perhaps thatβs because Hallie was the manager and worked behind the scenes in a quieter, calmer setting. Whereas Hannah was in-your-face, sparkly, over-the-top…and not at all the type of woman he should have been drawn to. Yet, he found himself noticing his new star more and more.Β
He needed to get his thoughts under control.Β
βI just got here myself.β He gestured to the seat across from him. βPlease, sit.βΒ
She put her bag in the vacant seat and settled into the chair with curved arms. A barista came right over to take their orders before leaving them alone again.Β
βSo where did you say Hannah was and why couldnβt she make it today?β he asked, hoping to get a direct answer this time.Β
Hallie blinked up at him. βOh, I didnβt say. She just asked me to meet you. After we talk, I will go over the schedule with her. She did request that she record in her home studio, so that was the main thing Iβm supposed to tell you.βΒ
Of course. Will shouldnβt have been surprised, though. Since that horrific storm had swept through Beaumont Bay only a few weeks ago, the town was still trying to recover. It was all hands on deck in this Nashville bedroom community to rebuild the multimillion-dollar homes that had taken a hit and the few businesses that had been affected.Β
The Bay wouldnβt stay down long. This lakeside community was where Nashville came to play, where all the deals were done, where the country music elite hid their juiciest secrets. And it was a town that legendary music producer Mags Dumond pretty much owned…or thought she did.Β
Heβd give Mags her due. Sheβd built up Beaumont Bay with her late husband and former mayor. It had been her foresightβand her insistence on hosting all her parties here over the decadesβthat had made a home, or second home, in the Bay a necessity for anyone who was anyone in Nashville.Β
Willβs family had been born here, and not to a country music bloodline. Travis and Dana Sutherland were in the real estate industry and owned nearly everything…unless Mags had claim on it.Β
But the Sutherland brothers had made a name for themselves in the music industry by pulling themselves up by the bootstraps…and staying out of Magsβs way for the most part. The woman had been a thorn in his familyβs side for decades, but he refused to think about that now. The next step in building his familyβs music empire was his new star, Hannah Banks, and finishing the renovations to the studio that had been damaged.Β
The reconstruction was taking much too long, although even a one-day delay was too long in this industry. He had music to make and singers relying on him, not to mention the trickle-down effect of the tours that were already being promoted to celebrate albums that were releasing soon.Β
The whole damn situation was a nightmare and Hannah Banksβthe superstar heβd stolen from Mags, whom he needed to make this whole plan a realityβcouldnβt find the time for a courtesy, in- person meeting. Sending her sister/manager/twin wasnβt the same.Β
βI would have to check out Hannahβs recording studio before I could commit to that agreement,β Will informed Hallie. βWe are going to have to start the production process next week to keep up with the deadlines. Tell Hannah Iβll be at her house first thing in the morning to check out this recording room of hers.βΒ
Hallie pursed her pale pink lips and shook her head. βTomorrow morning wonβt work.β She pulled out her phone and scrolled, then tapped her finger on the screen. βHow about Tuesday at ten?βΒ
Considering this was Friday, there was no way in hell he was waiting until Tuesday. Will pulled in a deep breath and sighed. Was Hallie going to be just as difficult as the country diva? The pout of her lips said yes, and something hard and dark moved inside him.Β
And thatβs when he knew something was off here.Β
βIβm not sure how things went when she worked for Mags at Cheating Hearts, but now that sheβs with Elite, I run the schedule and say when things are going to get done.βΒ
Hallieβs eyes narrowed. βIs that right? Well, maybe I shouldβve just stayed with Cheating Hearts.β Will inched forward, resting his hands on the table. βHannah? Are you kidding me?β
She cursed beneath her breath and Will gritted his teeth. Heβd known something felt off, but heβd never thought for a second his newest artist would play such a childish game as to pretend to be her twin. No way in hell would he fall for this swapped-twin trap. Hannah Banks was about to learn who was in charge real quick.Β
