Done and Dusted (Rebel Blue Ranch, #1)

by Lyla Sage

“And your family is my family, Emmy, so even if you weren’t in my bar, you would be my business. You’ve always been my business, and you’ll always be my business.”

“You didn’t ask me why I came home.” “I don’t care why you’re here, only that you are.”

Aw

When it came to Emmy, I was playing with fire, but I would happily walk into the flames for her. And I’d have a smile on my face the whole damn time.

Oh he's down bad for her! Love it.

“You know, if you don’t like the road you’re on, you can always pave a new one.”

I couldn’t believe the universe was so big, and I got placed on this random

floating rock at the same time as Clementine Ryder.

Emmy Ryder might have been in like with me, but it

was then that I knew I was falling in love with her.

“Sugar, you deserve to go out on your own terms. Just because you got dusted doesn’t mean you’re done.”

“She asked for you.” Teddy shrugged. “Emmy never asks for anything. She just puts her head down and deals with things in the only way she knows how, by kicking shit around in her own brain. But she asked for you.”

“Thank you,” he continued, “for taking care of my baby girl.” “She can take care of herself,” I said.

“I know she can, but you made sure she didn’t have to do it alone.”

“Some love stories burn hot and fast, but you two are more low and slow,” she said. “It’s a strong and steady kind of love.”
