“Jerry. Are the men out?”
“Yeah. East and north pastures today.”
“Okay. I’ll be out in a while to hand out checks.”
“Yes, sir.”
Liam had been running the ranch for over ten years, and it flourished. His father had restrictions because of his blood pressure and a heart attack. He was not supposed to get stressed. Everyone knew Joseph Flynn could never do that, so Liam took over. His father wasn’t initially happy, but he didn’t mind now. He trusted Liam to take care of it.
His cellphone buzzed, so he removed it from his jacket pocket to see his sister’s face. He grinned and hitAnswer.
“Hey,” he said.
“Hi. Can you come to dinner?”
“Tonight?” He frowned. He’d rather go to Dewey’s. Not that he didn’t love his sister. He did, but he needed a woman.
“No, tomorrow night.”
“Sure.”
“You can bring a date.”
“JoJo, you have tohavea date to bring.”
“Why not Melody? You were together at the Hartland Restaurant.”
Liam huffed out a laugh. “I’m not seeing her anymore.”
“For God’s sake, Liam.”
“Hey, I can’t help it if I can’t find someone. Speaking of someone, is Watkins being good to you?”
JoJo laughed, making him grin.
“Of course. He knows my big brother would come after him.”
“I like him, but he better not hurt my sister, or I’ll hurt him.”
“You’re the best brother.”
“I’m youronlybrother.”
“Well, there is that. We’ll see you tomorrow at six. Love you.”
“Love you too.” He disconnected.
After putting the phone back into his pocket, he turned on the computer, opened Cas-Port, the program he used for keeping the books and payroll, and got busy.

“I never realized how busy a cowboy bar could get,” Siobhan muttered as she poured another beer.
“I used to think the same thing when I first started.” Laura Blackstone smiled at her.
Laura was a beautiful woman with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was as sweet as could be.
“I love it, though.” Siobhan set a beer on the bar, and the cowboy winked at her, making her laugh. “They love to flirt, don’t they?”
