Done and Dusted (Rebel Blue Ranch, #1)

by Lyla Sage

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.

“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 was worth the wait. I’d been waiting thirty-two years for her without even knowing it, and she’d been right in front of me the whole time.

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.”
