Emily must let Blue in-to both her heart and her future. One Some people might call it the hots, but if you asked Emily Shiver directly what her feelings regarding Blue Perez were, she’d probably say it was more like an . . . appreciation. Especially seated on that barstool like he was. She righted the flower tucked behind her ear and headed back into the Bull’s Eye kitchen. She didn’t do “hots.” It sounded so junior high school—which was when she’d seen Blue for the first time. Of course, back then he hadn’t been all that much to look at. Tall; super skinny; shy; huge, nervous blue eyes. Not that she could blame him on the nervous thing. He’d just come to town with his mother, hadn’t known anyone—moved into the Triple C to take care of the house and Everett Cavanaugh. The older man was alone. Wife had passed on, all three of his boys gone. For Blue, it couldn’t have been a happy place to come to. From the outside looking in, doom and gloom coated that ranch like thick, hungry fog. But truly, what did anyone expect? From Everett or from those boys? Well . . . especially the boys. They’d lost their girl. Cass. In the most painful way imaginable. Taken from the movie theater bathroom when they were only a few feet away. Those poor kids. They’d just wanted to do what every brother would’ve wanted to do: watch the darn movie. Not take their annoying kid sis to the bathroom. To them, she was old enough to do that on her own—and grab some Skittles and popcorn on the return trip. But there’d been no return.

Emily remembered those days well. Seemed like the whole town of River Black was just watching and praying and hoping. Their breaths held. But it was no use. No coming back from pain that all consuming. The Cavanaughs had been irrevocably destroyed. Their mama gone mad. Seemed like no light would ever find its way to them. Then in came Elena Perez and her son, Blue. Moved in, cleaned up and out. A hope for comfort and peace, and maybe things returning to some new sense of normal. Which they had. For a while. Until Everett passed . . . and the truth of his affair with Elena, long before she’d moved into the Triple C, and the child they’d created came to light. “Emily, hon,” came a voice near her right shoulder. “That’s my Coke you’re manhandling there.” The kitchen of the Bull’s Eye came into focus like someone...
