The Catch — Avery Scott

Tucker Barnes isn't my real boyfriend, but he plays one on TV...

When I left Starlight, Indiana for Hollywood, I didn't look back. There's only one thing I regret about leaving- breaking Tucker's heart.

Landing the lead on a dating show feels like my big break, but when I see my ex-fiance standing on the stage, I start to wonder if a chance at stardom is worth as much as the love I threw away.

Tucker doesn't care about fame or fortune. He's only on the show in a desperate attempt to earn money and exposure to save his family farm. Seeing me wasn't part of the plan, but when the producers find out about our past and turn it into a storyline, he grudgingly plays along.

I know that the romantic dates and sweet nothings are part of the script, but sometimes, the way that Tucker looks at me gives me hope that he's not pretending.

I still want to be an actress, but I want Tucker too. Do I really have to choose?
