Lula and her friend Iola had formed Matchmaking Mamas and wanted Silas to use their services and after bothering him at a wedding he finally agreed to one match and then they would leave him alone. When Bryson Larkin shows up at his door it is an instant attraction for both of them. Bryson is new to Granville and he and his brother, Branson, are opening a sporting goods store there to be closer to Branson’s fiancé Caitlyn’s family. Bryson whisks Silas to a beautiful place for a first sweet date that ends up in a hot love scene and he wants to see where a relationship with him would go and Silas likes him but he isn’t sure that he can love again. Then things fall apart when…
