like travel. I’m ready for anything, Katie.” Maybe not quite ready for Afghanistan but she’d worry about that later.
    Katie hmmphed at that statement while shuffling through a pile of papers and file folders on her desk. “I certainly hope you are ready, because I’m afraid it might not be easy.”
    God, Emily hoped she wouldn’t be stuck working with some German-speaking model on this assignment. She could get by with a few words of French, even Italian, but German?
    Finally Katie found whatever she had been looking for. “Here you go.”
    Emily’s eyes opened wide as her boss thrust the file into her hands. “US Army Marketing Campaign,” she read, an uncontrollable smile spreading across her face as visions of soldiers danced in her head.
    “Yup. And I’m not exactly sure you should be so happy about it,” Katie warned.
    “Why not? You met and fell in love with BB during the Special Ops Recruitment Ad Campaign.”
    Katie nodded. “Yes. That I did.”
    “And we’ll be using an actual Army guy for the shoots, just like we used BB because he was a real Special Operative for the last one?”
    “Yes.”
    The joy nearly bubbled up through Emily’s chest. She tried but didn’t quite control the squeal of happiness that escaped her lips. No diva queen models of either sex for her first real assignment. Nope. She was getting to work with a real man. One of Uncle Sam’s finest for her very own. Emily was more than ready for that.
    Maybe she would get to pick the guy. Emily imagined a long line of uniform bedecked soldiers, dog tags jingling as they all waited to meet her approval. Having to meet dozens, maybe hundreds, of men had to put the odds in her favor.
    The thought that stumbling upon fairytale love, the kind Katie and BB had found, had her smiling even broader…until Katie’s insistent head-shaking ruined her good thoughts.
    “What?” Emily whined, hating to have her fantasy ruined, especially by a woman who already had her own hero cast.
    “I just don’t think you should be daydreaming about this particular soldier.”
    This particular soldier . Disappointment warred with anticipation within her. “You’ve already picked him?”
    “Not me personally, but yes, he’s been chosen.”
    Was that a smirk on Katie’s face?
    “Who chose him?” And he had better be right, not only for the ad campaign but also for her!
    “BB.”
    Emily considered that a moment. Former underwear model turned Special Operative turned military recruiting poster boy, BB Dalton was so good looking he bordered on beautiful. He must know some really handsome guys in the military, right? Did really hot guys hang out together the way gorgeous yet bitchy female models did? In any case, being a former model himself, BB would know the importance of having the right look for the ad campaign.
    “Okay.” Emily nodded slowly.
    This might work out alright. And BB was the sweetest man on earth, the perfect gentleman. No way would he pick a jerk for Katie and Emily to work with. The happiness bubble returned.
    Emily flipped open the folder and shuffled through the few papers inside. “Is there a picture in here?”
    “Not in the client folder, no. The model was a…uh…recent decision and actually, I’m not considering that it’s totally a done deal yet. BB said he is one hundred percent sure he’ll be the one but the guy hasn’t even received the info for the assignment yet. He’ll get it when he gets back to his garrison. Until then, I’m not convinced he won’t back out, but we’ll know I guess by tomorrow for sure.”
    Emily pouted. “So there is no information on him at all?”
    Katie smiled at her. “Relax. Check the printer.”
    “The printer?”
    “Matt, BB’s computer genius friend, sent a few background documents directly to our printer.”
    “How the heck…?”
    Katie shook her head, “Honestly, I don’t know how he did it and quite frankly, I think I don’t want to know how Matt hacked into our
