me find the perfect candidate to be my sex buddy. And
this weekend is the best time to start.”
    “At my family’s Memorial Day party?”
    “Yes,” Taylor said with a grin. “Your brothers will be
there.”
    Emily made a face. “You want to hook up with one of my
brothers?”
    “Ew, no . They’re like my brothers too. I meant every
year they always have a lot of their guy friends come over. Most of them I
already know. So this is my chance to pick a sex buddy. You can help me with
the pros and cons of the guys there.”
    “I think it’s crazy,” Emily muttered. “But okay, I’ll help
you.”
    “And please, don’t tell Devlin. This is just between you and
me.” She took Emily’s hands in hers. “This is my chance to put Cooper out of my
mind. I have to do this.”

Chapter Three
     
    The Memorial Day party was in full swing. It was always a
big affair, with lots of food and guests. And every year, the Sinclair boys played
touch football with the McKay boys and other friends at the park across the
street.
    Taylor glanced at the guys congregating across the yard,
getting ready for the game. This was the perfect chance for her to build her
sex buddy candidate list and weed out the improbables.
    Emily appeared at her side. “I know that look on your face.”
    “What look?”
    “The you’re-on-a-mission look.”
    “I’m looking at all possible candidates.” She glanced at the
men again as they made their way to the park. “I see some possibilities.” A
couple of them, if she was honest. The rest just didn’t interest her. Damn
Cooper.
    Determined to put him out of her mind, she tugged Emily to
follow the men across the street. “Come on. Devlin will be happy to see you
watching him.”
    Emily grinned. “Now that’s a real incentive.”
    “You’re hopelessly in love with him.”
    “Good thing, since we’re getting married soon. I’d hate to
marry somebody I don’t love,” Emily quipped.
    “Yeah, yeah. Keep in mind the purpose here, Em. You’re here
to help me find a sex buddy.”
    “Keep your voice down, will you? The last thing we need is
for any of my brothers to overhear this crazy idea of yours.”
    Taylor stopped short. “Do you think it’s a crazy idea?”
    Emily paused before speaking. “Listen, I would love nothing
more for you than to find a man you’ll have a real, meaningful relationship
with. Not just a sex buddy. That’s my honest to God opinion. You know I’ll
never lie to you.”
    “I know.”
    “I get it that you’re scared of this attraction to Cooper,
and that you think that finding a man to have regular sex with will put him out
of your mind, but I want you to be happy.”
    Taylor bit her lip. “Please understand that this thing I
feel for Cooper is hopeless. Nothing can ever come of it, so I’m not even going
to go there.”
    “You’re sure about that?”
    “Positive.”
    “All right,” Emily agreed reluctantly. “Let’s go find you a
sex buddy.”
    Taylor grinned and hugged her. “Don’t worry. I’m not going
to jump into bed at the first opportunity. I’d have to at least be physically
attracted to this man, and he must pass certain qualifications.”
    By the time they sat down on the grass to watch, the game
was already in progress. A shade tree kept the glare of the afternoon sun away
from them. Taylor admired the physique of the men who’d discarded their shirts.
    Devlin’s brothers in particular were fine specimens. Their
muscles rippled as they ran the plays, their skin glistening with sweat. Riley,
the middle brother, was certainly a possibility. Tall, muscled and he looked
very much like a man’s man. She knew him already and although he dated a lot of
women, he wasn’t a philanderer. He wasn’t bad-looking either. He was actually
very attractive, with a thick shock of dark hair and a smile that could melt a
woman’s heart. Definitely a possibility.
    “Uh-oh,” Emily muttered under her breath.
    “What’s wrong?” Emily cocked her
