      A very quick first chapter, but it sets things up nicely enough. Personally for me in a romance I like to know what the main characters look like. That's part of the intrigue of a traditional romance where the reader may not be so immersed in an imaginary world but are very focused on the people in the story. Kate, as of now, is without a description. I assume the girl in her dreams is not her otherwise she wouldn't be asking who she was...so it would be nice to know what Kate looks like. I know that some people will say things about artistic license and leaving things to mystery, but I feel that it just doesn't fit in this genre. If you are writing a traditional romance there will be descriptive scenes of a romantic/sexual level and for those to be affective readers need to know what your characters look like. That would be my biggest critique of the story as you have it currently posted.

      Your dialogue grammar is wrong. When following up a speaking bit with a speaking verb like said or replied use a comma not a period. Also there are a few odd commas here and there in this piece, especially in the first paragraph that could be taken out.
