Chapter 1

"Ms. Walker, I have Patti Jones on line one."

"Thank you, Amelia. You can put her through... Hello, Patti. So
good to hear from you."

Kate Walker was now living the dream. As a young girl from Los
Angeles, she often dreamed of being a big time fashion designer. She
put in all of the hard work and sacrifice, and now her dreams were
coming true.

As the owner of Grey's Fashion Boutique, she was the CEO of a booming
fashion consulting firm. What started out as a passion for helping
her friends shop for all of the right clothes turned in to attending
fashion and design school and then opening a small boutique.

Business was slow at first, but sticking with it, putting in long
hours networking and working sometimes for free helped Kate end up
with everything she dreamed of. Finding Linda had been invaluable.
Linda had walked in one day when Grey's opened and she confessed that
she did not have much fashion sense and she did not intend to be the
most fashionable in the work. She was the business mind and Kate
appreciated everything that Linda had done to help bring her dream to
life.

Kate clicked on the keyboard and finished her phone call with her
client. The chime on the computer signaled that there was a task on
the calendar.

"Oh shoot." The morning had gotten away from her and she
forgot that there was lunch with Bruce.

If she canceled on him one more time, he would never take her out
again. At least that was his threat after she rescheduled their lunch
rendezvous for the second time in two weeks.

Her cell phone rang. "Yes, Linda."

"Do not stand up my man Bruce again."

Kate sighed. "I will not stand him up. As a matter of fact, I am
on my way to meet him now."

"Sure you were. You were probably just wrapping up a phone call
with yet another client. I tell you, last year at this time, you did
not have any love in your life at all. Now you have Bruce and you
don't have any balance in your life. Don't lose him because you won't
take a little time out in your day to show the man a little
appreciation."

Kate shuffled through her purse to find her sunglasses. "Seriously,
I 'm on my way out of the door. I did not forget about lunch with my
boyfriend. How could I?"

"Later, Kate. I'm on my way to the merchandising warehouse to
check on a few of the things we ordered."

"Great. I'll see you later."

Kate hated the fact that Linda was always right on time. She had a
way of pointing things out to Kate and making her see that she needed
to slow down. Kate did not want to slow down. She wanted to go full
speed ahead in her career. Focus was what she needed. But according
to Linda, and her boyfriend, Bruce, Kate needed to have the ability
to focus not only on work, but on having a well rounded personal life
as well.

They both made good points. Linda was always looking out for Kate's
best interest. Bruce was as well. He was everything that she ever
wanted in a man.

Bruce was the exact opposite of what she would have ever thought she
would be dating. A forty two year old man who took good care of his
body, but left a lot to be desired in the fashion department. He was
ruggedly attractive with steel blue eyes and dark brown hair with a
bright silver gray streak in it. When they met, he wore it in a
ponytail. In the year that they had been dating, he had since cut the
ponytail and wore his hair short and cropped, clean cut.

Bruce was an accountant by trade, but preferred life in the country,
living on a farm where he could smell the rich soil and use his
hands. He was in stark contrast to the woman she was.

Kate never saw herself dating outside of her race. But with Bruce, it
had not been so much of a thought in the forefront of her mind. She
fell for the man. And he fell for her. They were a true match, each
other's balance. He helped her to find the calm she needed, and she
helped him find the fire he needed to go back to freelance consulting
in accounting. It was a passion of his that never died.

With so much work on her plate, it was hard to fit in any of the
leisurely things that Bruce wanted to do. If it came down to spending
the morning golfing with Bruce or networking with potential clients,
hands down, Kate would choose the latter every time. As far as Bruce
was concerned, she should back off and take at least one day of rest.
But while building her empire, Kate did not see rest in her immediate
future. She envisioned success. Wild success. She could not find that
on the second hole of the golf course. It was something she would
have to work extremely hard for.

She had gone over with Bruce how her parents weren't flat out poor,
but they had not been able to give her the best of things either. She
wore hand-me-downs to school every day, clothes that originally
belonged to someone else. Now that kind of fashion was considered
'Vintage' and people clamored to shop at consignment stores. Growing
up, having second hand clothes made Kate feel less than and was the
very feeling that propelled her to create a financial security that
she never felt she had as a child.

The very irony of her current love life was that she was involved
with a billionaire. She did not know anything about Bruce's net worth
when they met.

As a matter of fact, he looked and dressed far from being a
billionaire. He preferred cowboy boots, jeans, ten gallon hats, and
white creased button down shirts. That was what he was wearing when
he walked in the doors of Grey's Boutique.

Bruce had looked like a fish out of water when he strutted into the
boutique. Kate had incorrectly assumed that he was there shopping for
a special someone. He had actually wanted to enlist the services of a
stylist in order to dress him for a gala event.

Kate thought nothing of it. She simply did what she did best and put
him in a finely tailored suit. When he was dressed and looking good,
it was the first time she noticed how handsome he was. Sure he pulled
the ponytail back and was more clean shaven, but he had an air of
charisma and wisdom that drew her to him.

The other thing that drew her to him was his confidence. He asked her
out to eat and to spend time with him as soon as they met. Dating was
the furthest thing from her mind. She had no intention of being in a
relationship. The only thing she wanted to do was focus on building
her brand. But fate had other plans.

Kate would not say that Bruce swept her off of her feet. Their
relationship was the epitome of yin and yang. He was the strength and
the stability she craved. And that had nothing to do with his money.
Actually, knowing he had money had caused her a bit of pause. She did
not want him to think that the reason she wanted to be with him was
because he was loaded. It had nothing to do with that. She wanted to
be with him because he made her laugh and made her think. He
challenged her to be more than her best and to push herself.

He was exactly what she was looking for when she didn't know she was
searching. And he had done all he could to make her understand he
wanted her and he would do whatever it took to get her.

A year later, they were still going strong. Bruce was her rock and
she was appreciative of that.

So when he set up a lunch date for the two of them at her favorite
café, she owed it to him, and herself, to make it there on
time.

Lunch was at one o'clock. She pulled up at ten after. As soon as she
walked in, she saw Bruce sitting there reading a menu. It was
obviously a way to kill time because they had been to that restaurant
several times before and knew the menu by heart.

Bruce stood up as she walked in. "I almost thought that I was
being stood up."

She kissed him, first a peck on the lips that he turned into more
passion.

"Whoa, I guess we are putting on a show for everyone else,"
she replied as she tried to catch her breath.

"I have to take every chance that I get to let my woman know how
I feel about her." Bruce pulled out her chair and waited for her
to take a seat.

"I saw you studying the menu. Did you figure out what you would
like to eat?"

Bruce took a seat, leaning back in his chair. His shoulders were
broad and he was tall, so he was always leaning back in chairs in
order to sit comfortably.

"I thought that studying the menu would make me look a little
less lonely than sitting here alone reading posts on my phone."

Kate knew that it was a small dig about her time management skills.
"I accept that. Sorry I was late."

Bruce nodded. "I was thinking of ordering the egg and cheese
omelet with a side of spinach artichoke dip and chips. What about
you?"

"I think that I'll have the steak frittata and a side of hash
brows."

They ordered and sat back drinking their coffee.

"It's such a beautiful day. What's on your agenda?"

"Well, I have a few rounds of golf this afternoon and a phone
meeting with a potential client. A pretty productive but calm day. I
try not to pack too much into my twenty four hours, love."

When Bruce made comments like that, it made her feel guilty for being
so driven. At least that's what Kate called it. Driven. Bruce said
that it was a bit more than driven. It was borderline psychotic to
cram ten hours of work into an eight hour work day.

"Sacrifices," Kate sighed.

Bruce raised his eyebrow. "Is that what we are calling it now?"

She wanted desperately to change the subject. "What about plans
for dinner?"

"I wanted to surprise you. Come over and pick you up in my
chariot, complete with chocolates, flowers, and the man of your
dreams."
