Barista Jimmy
Patterson thinks it's a good idea to get rip-roaring drunk on his birthday
after he’s dumped by his boyfriend. When the burly owner of Stonewall’s Bar
rescues Jimmy, the night starts to look up.
Now Jimmy just wants to know the bartender's
first name since he's worn a different name tag every time Jimmy's seen him.
"Guy" Stone gives Jimmy seven guesses, one for each night he takes
Jimmy out on a date.
While Jimmy’s trying to come up with his name,
he's distracted by the destruction of his coffee shop and what looks more and
more like a hate crime.

Excerpt:
Stonewall [Saloon]
was chaos when I got there. Guy and another bartender were mixing drinks as
fast as they could. I squeezed in at the end of the bar near the hatchway and
sat on an abandoned stool there.
I didn’t
think Guy had seen me come in, so when there was a lull in the frenetic pace
and he was nearly within arm’s reach, I called out, “What’s a guy gotta do to
get a drink in this place?”
Guy looked
up, grinned at me, and yelled back, “Fuck the bartender.”
A slim man
sitting next to me perked up, gave Guy the once-over, and yelled, “Okay!”
Guy’s
startled gaze met mine, and we broke out laughing.
The man next to me sighed and slumped over his beer. “I knew it was too good to be true,” he mumbled.
I patted him
on the shoulder.
“Maybe next
time,” I commiserated with him.
“Right,” he
answered glumly.
