Snow and the Seven Billionaire Dates

Snow has two months to pick which of the seven eligible bachelors will be her sweetheart—if she can survive that long.

Before the premiere of Heartthrob’s Most Wanted, Snow receives a threatening message, warning her to back out of the show.

Disregarding the note, she has the time of her life getting to know the fetching contestants, who quickly grasp hold of her
heart. But when she’s attacked on the show, she’s tempted to give this menace what they want—her departure.

Snow’s gorgeous bodyguard rises to the occasion and assures her of her safety, and soon her feelings turn in his direction. Now she has eight to choose from.

In the end, it won't matter who she picks if she's not alive at the finale.

Chapter One

Snow Hendricks stared around the empty set in complete disbelief. In a few hours, this place would be hopping with cameramen, producers, and hosts.

The cameras now stood unmanned, but they would soon be filming her—her—Snow Freedom Hendricks. She still found it hard to believe that she was the selected bachelorette to be featured on Heartthrob’s Most Wanted, where she would be meeting seven bachelors who’d opted to be candidates for her heart.

Or—for the billion-dollar prize at the end once she picked her prince charming.

She wasn’t naïve enough to believe any of the men were participating solely to meet her. Even so, she hoped she might find a connection with at least one of them.

Snow had dated other guys. She’d had the occasional boyfriend, but none of her relationships lasted long, and she hoped for something that didn’t have an expiration date.

After her most recent relationship with Terry Waverland had ended—there had been little between them to build any kind of connection on, and they’d both agreed as much—Snow had decided to try a different route. A wait-and-see route that didn’t involve online dating apps.

She’d been there. Done that.

Then, when the ad for Heartthrob’s Most Wanted crossed her inbox, she’d auditioned on a whim. Her friend and neighbor, Lily Hope—now Lily Von Frosk—had helped her submit the video. There had been follow-up videos, additional applications, and a tense waiting period while they decided between her and two other women.

And here she was, taking time off from her position at the community theater in Clearwater to star in a completely different act. One that was no act at all.

She opened her phone and began swiping through each bachelor’s profiles, something she’d taken to doing every spare minute she had. Not only was each man extremely good looking in his own way, but their diverse personalities and occupations were so interesting.

She wanted to make sure she remembered at least a few details about each man before they were introduced.

She couldn’t wait to meet them. Oh goodness—tomorrow. After all this time, all this waiting.

“Tomorrow,” she said aloud, pressing her phone to her chest and grinning like a fool.

The sound-canceling flooring almost fully masked the clacking heels, but Snow turned to find Heartthrob’s producer, Eloise Sanchez, approaching.

Eloise’s appearance could have been described as cold and exacting, a complete contradiction to how jovial and welcoming the producer had been in their personal communications thus far. Her porcelain skin was on full display thanks to the tight strain of her black hair pulled into a harsh bun on the back of her head. Snow experienced the same rush of intimidation she’d felt when she’d first met Eloise, but she schooled herself to relax.

“It’s something, isn’t it?” Eloise said, gesturing to the set.

“It is,” Snow agreed.

She’d received a tour when she’d first arrived in San Diego, but this venture allowed her the time she hadn’t had before to process the magnitude of it all. She had been selected.

She was America’s heartthrob.

A man strolled in behind Eloise. He was tall, ebony-skinned, and along with his impressive cheekbones and brooding, sultry eyes, he wore a button-up shirt and slacks. Her awareness of him instantly heightened at just how put-together he was. Not only was he attractive, but his perfectly tailored clothing added to the confidence he exuded.

“Here you are,” he said, nodding at Snow but directing his response to Eloise.

“Here we are. Snow, meet Hunter Bradley, the owner of Heartthrob Magazine and security manager.”

Mr. Bradley offered Snow a hand. “Nice to meet you in person, Snow.”

Snow found herself ensnared by his direct glance. It’s nothing, she told herself. It’s only because he owns the show. She brushed off her reaction and shook his hand.

“You too,” she said, stomach quivering with nerves. She hurried to look away.

If she didn’t know any better, she’d have thought that, like Eloise, he had a hand in her selection for this position. Then again, as the owner of the station, perhaps he did. She’d had no idea the owner himself would be here for the onset of the show.

She’d been briefed about the security staff and the videographers who would be tailing her in her hotel room and on her dates with the bachelors. Lack of privacy was one of the hazards of reality TV. But meeting the owner?

He was still watching her, his warm eyes questioning and analyzing her at once. She wondered what the reason for his scrutiny was.
