trying to seduce her, you’re planning on abducting her.”
    “If necessary, when the time comes. But for now, I’m working my charms. I have a feeling if her friends can talk her into that photo shoot and Tysler Cobbs get’s a look at her, he’ll be way interested. Now, what we need to do is get more information on these challengers for the contest. I need to know if they have families, girlfriends, et cetera, so we know what strings we can pull to bribe them into the ring back in Tennessee.”
    “I’m already working on it. Plus James and Stucky are in town now, too. We’ll work it, as we always do.”
    “Good. Real good,” Tagart stated as he looked at Elise.
    Maybe he could get the photographer to talk Elise into wearing a bikini on the bull. Now that would be a fucking hot sight.

    “There is no way that Elise is going to pose for pictures in some getup for the promotions. Is that Tagart’s idea? I don’t like how thoroughly interested he is in her,” Susanna expressed to Ava as she looked over the balcony and down to the floor below. She had a great view of Elise’s small bar and Tagart and Carver. Tagart was smiling and watching her every time she walked away from him.
    “It’s not like she has to wear a bikini. She’ll wear what she usually does,” Ava stated.
    Susanna looked out toward the bar then back at Ava.
    “I’m a little worried about Elise. She was acting kind of funny yesterday and then she disappeared for a bit.”
    Ava turned away and smiled to herself. She knew that the Ollsen twins had finally confronted Elise about their attraction to her.
    “What? What do you know but aren’t sharing?”
    “My lips are sealed.”
    “Oh no you don’t. Y’all keep referring to me as the mother hen, then this mother hen needs to know that her Dixie Chix are okay.”
    Ava chuckled. “God, that sounds so funny coming from you. You’re only twenty-six.” Ava laughed.
    “Well, any time you’d like to take over, miss twenty-seven, you let me know.”
    “Ah, hell, no one mothers like you do, Susanna. By the way, how do you feel about being a grandma soon?”
    Susanna gasped then gave Ava a gentle smack on her arm.
    “Don’t you dare start that shit.”
    Ava was laughing hysterically and then Susanna did, too.
    “It was a funny one. I’ll give you that.”
    “Sure was,” Ava replied.
    “Now, back to Elise. What’s going on?”
    “Well, let’s just say that the Ollsen twins have finally decided to embrace their attraction to Elise.”
    Susanna widened her eyes in shock.
    “No way? Big Tommy and Big Vic Ollsen, the deputies?”
    “That’s them.
    “Damn, those two are good-looking.”
    “Yeah, and they have that wild, untamed look to them, too. I guess it has something to do with their heritage.”
    Susanna sighed then nibbled on her bottom lip.
    “What’s wrong?”
    “Now I’m really worried about her. If she’s seeing them, they’re going to flip out about the photo shoot and the exposure she’ll get.”
    “She’s not seeing them yet. They just made a move at Thanksgiving and she’s not biting. She’s scared and not quite sure she’s ready to date.”
    “I know she’s still not over Devlon and how he died. She never gave all the details, but she did mention some bad people and not being able to prove that they killed him.”
    “I know. She didn’t sleep well last night either. I think she’s drinking Red Bulls behind the bar,” Ava told her.
    “I’ll maybe have a talk with her about all this stuff first, before we say yes or no to Tagart. If he doesn’t want to do the promo stuff then so be it. I think we’ll be fine either way.”
    “Okay, that sounds good to me. I’ll get someone to cover her.”
    “Thanks and do me a favor and help Sally check over the stage for tonight’s performance? Now that she’s pregnant, I’m going to worry about her tripping or falling or who knows what.”
    “You? What about Mason and Steven? They’re going to
