Liam places a hand on my lower back as we approach the counter. The touch should irritate me, but it doesn’t this time.

A young woman bearing similar features to Samantha greets us with a glowing smile. “How can I help you?”

“Ellie Jones?”

Her brows go up. “Yes. Well, I’m married now. But originally a Jones.”

“Sorry, I should introduce myself.” I hold out a hand over the server counter. “I’m Trina Smith.” I look at Liam. “And this is my husband, Liam.”

Ellie shakes my hand. “Nice to meet you.”

Liam leans into me as he whispers to Ellie. “She’s Trina Ashley now. We’ve only been married a few days.”

My cheeks go hot. “Oh, yeah. Sorry, honey.” I grit my teeth at Liam.

“Anyway,” I continue, “we’re staying at the Rose Resort. I believe your family owns the place.”

“Yes. Marg and Steve are my parents.”

I nod. “Have you heard that there’s a reality TV show being filmed on the premises?”

“Yeah. They’ve been preparing for months. They’re hoping the publicity will bring a tidal wave of reservations.”

I try not to show my surprise. “Right. So they’ve had months to get the place up to par?”

“Yes. Dad has been manicuring those rose bushes like they’re bonsai trees.”

“His work has paid off. They look amazing.” I scan the display cases of sweets. “Anyhow, we heard this place served the best cinnamon rolls on the planet.”

Ellie laughs. “This is true.”

I smile at her. “We’ll take a tray of your finest selection, please.”

She’s given me everything I need to know. The producers did set up the fire alarm debacle. Come to think of it, there were no other guests pouring from the building. This confirms my speculations, and now I can plunge into a new article about the remote-controlled jet skis.

My boss is going to be over the moon when there’s an impressive surge in online views and subscriptions. The traction we're getting will pave the way for something big. When the show reaches its finale, I’ll have the leverage I need to make my case for a well-deserved promotion.
