Joke

“Dibs,” he murmured before he could get his brain to come up with something less stupid and a lot more charming. Joke is happy for his sister who finally settled in with Paddy. He’s happy for Gibson who found Lee and built a great relationship with her. He’s happy his bar is doing well. Happy the town is thriving. He’s so damned happy he’s choking on it. He’s also lonely. Sissy is only looking for a safe place where she can live her life in peace and quiet, hidden from the man who has haunted her life since she was eighteen. Having a man in that life is not needed, or even particularly wanted. Not even big, brawny Joke Tucker, the barman who also happens to be her boss. Things are about to change for both of them, and as a consequence, for a few others too.
