amazing, as always, I just wish she’d realize that!”
    Turning to me, Toby stuck out his hand to introduce himself, “Toby Morgan, and you are Mac’s nephew right?”
    Taking Toby’s outstretched hand, “Grady Finnegan, and yes sir, Mac is my uncle. He asked me to take over the bar once he retired, so here I am.”
    Toby seemed to be sizing me up, as his gaze traveled up and down my body, “Well, welcome to Brown County, I’m sure you will enjoy living here.”
    As long as I could meet Emmy, I would enjoy living here alright. Wait a minute, didn’t Uncle Mac say that Emmy’s last name was Morgan? Perhaps Toby was her brother? Surely he wasn’t her husband, he seemed a little too….flamboyant.
    “Em get your ass over here, I’ve got a beer with your name on it!” Tess yelled from behind the bar.
    I looked up straight into the eyes of Emmy Morgan, she was coming this way, and she was breathtaking. Fuck me. She was even more beautiful up close. I noticed her walking with a limp, but that didn’t distract me from her beauty. Being ex-Military and broken myself, I knew things could happen. Absently, feeling the dull ache in my shoulder from where I was shot, it was a reminder that I was still alive.
    “Tess, I really can’t stay. I need to get home to Tucker.” Emmy blushed while looking right at me. “Hello, you must be Mac’s nephew, I’m Emmalynne Morgan, but please call me Emmy.”
    Sweet god almighty, that voice. Her voice was sultry and sexy, just like her. There went the tightness in my jeans again, this beauty certainly invokes a raging hard on.
    Emmalynne.
    Up close I can see her eyes more clearly, and even encased in those funky glasses, they are beautiful. They were the richest shade of brown, they remind me of chocolate, which was fitting since apparently she was an amazing baker. Pulling myself from my thoughts, I realized I’d been staring at her. Clearing my throat I muttered, “Grady Finnegan, and I must say Emmalynne that you’re one amazing baker.” I winked at her before moving down the bar to wipe off the counter. I needed to think of something else so I could get out of this constant state of arousal.
    Baseball. Puppies. My grandma. Yup, that did it!
    I then overheard Emmy talking to Toby and Tessa. “So, you will both be at the soccer field bright and early tomorrow morning, right?” They both muttered a ‘yes’ before Emmalynne sauntered outside to leave. I had to say something to her before she left.
    “It was very nice meeting you. You played great tonight Emmalynne, and I hope to see more of you soon!” Giving her my sexy smolder, she blushed, smiled and turned towards the door.
    Not realizing that I was still looking at the space she just occupied, Tessa snapped me out of my thoughts.
    “Uh, Grady, you have a bit of drool on your chin! Seriously could you have been so blatantly obvious?”
    Tessa thought she was funny. I rolled my eyes as I turned towards her and Toby. “So is Emmy your sister?” I blurted out. God, could I have been more obvious, where this pussy side of me has come from I’m not sure. I was not so sure I liked it either.  I was ex-Army, tough as nails, not some whipped pussy. But something about Emmalynne drew me to her. Fuck. 
    “Um no, she is my sister-in-law.” Whew, saved! But hold that thought. “So, you are married to her sister?”
    “Honey, I’m gay and very much single,” he winked at me. Um…….ok…..so there is only solution left and I was not liking it.
    “So she’s married to your brother?” I grumbled through clenched teeth. Of course the universe would hate me. I had found the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and she was married. Fuck. That must be who Tucker is and why she had to get home to him so quickly. Where the fuck this possessive side came from, I couldn’t tell you, but I wanted Emmalynne Morgan with every fiber of my being.
    “Well, not exactly.”
    “Not exactly! What the fuck is that supposed to
