Steele had found that once one had a glimpse of what life could be like when it was good, he couldn't go back to dark, ugly days and nights. He existed before Breezy. [...] He hadn't been alive. Breez...
Steele felt the weight of that sacred ink on his back. It was there for a reason, to remind all of them they were stronger together.
She probably should have been afraid of him, but he brought her such a sense of well-being that fearing him was impossible.
She laughed easily, that was one of the things he remembered most. Her laughter. The sound of it. The way she turned everything bad into something good.
Sarah, honey, I hardly think kidnappers are going to take the time to buy a memento of their stay. I could be wrong, but it seems rather unlikely.
Now my woman is in danger, not only from me but from my enemies.Edgar puffed at his pipe calmly. You said ‘my woman.’ You love this woman?Mikhail waved a dismissing hand. She is mine. It was a stateme...
It won't work that way. You know me, Bree. You 'know' me. I might have misled things at the club. But I gave you the real man. I don't back away from a fight and I win.
It had been hard to tell him. Very hard. She'd learned not to trust anyone, but more importantly, she knew not to get close to anyone.
Is he all right? His voice was very soft, but commanding all the same. Mikhail was authoritative no matter the circumstances.
I was always in danger. Always. I felt every minute of the day that I was walking a tightrope and any moment I was going to fall. Part of me just wanted it over.
I see you have no need of a sword.Very difficult, these days, to get them through security, she pointed out without changing expression.You’re extremely accurate with that weapon.With all weapons. My...
I have to figure out why I worked at a job I hated for years. I have to find out why I can’t see what everyone else sees in me. I don’t feel beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I never saw beautiful...
I don’t like you in danger. When a man finds the only personof worth to him, that one person who matters more than anything and makeseverything he’s ever seen or done or gone through worthwhile, belie...
I cannot lie to you, he whispered. You know my thoughts. You know the beast that dwells inside. I try to be gentle with you, to listen to you. Always that wildness breaks free, but you tame me. Raven,...
His smile was warm, impossible to ignore, and did something to her insides, making her feel happy. Happiness wasn't something she was used to feeling and it shocked her a little.
His mouth came down on hers and then he was just possessing her. Taking her over. Leaving her with nothing of herself because she burned up in the fire he generated.
His black eyes smoldered, a velvet seduction. She backed away from him, holding a palm outward to ward him off. Just you keep your ideas to yourself, she warned. You have that devil’s look, the one t...
Her fingertip traced his smile. I’m sorry I was so crazy about the healer giving me blood, but I really can’t stand it yet, even thinking about it. When we’re together, it seems different, something b...
He was a complete stranger to her, but he knew that connection between them had started there in the parking lot, their shadows touching coiling together, their eyes meeting.
He needed to know she wanted to be with him. He needed to know someone loved him. He didn't believe himself worthy of love, so he had a difficult time believing she really wanted to be with him.
