Littlemouse was in danger, doubtless a prisoner, and the humans could not be trusted to handle her rescue with appropriate violence. They might be willing to leave someone alive, and Rowl was not prep...
You can’t go around changing your definition of right and wrong (or smart and stupid) just because doing the wrong thing happens to be really convenient. Sometimes it isn’t easy to be sane, smart, and...
Lord, Michael said. We walk into darkness now. Our enemies will surround us. Please help to make us strong enough to do what needs to be done. Amen.
We’re all the hero of our own story.
Mac folded his arms on the bar and looked at me intently and said, in a resonant baritone, You've got to be very careful, Harry.I looked at him, shocked. He'd...used grammar.
Rip her dress off! Bob shouted. Bob the Skull takes paperback romances very seriously. The next page turned so quickly that he tore the paper a little. Bob is even harder on books than I am.That’s wha...
Race me back. Beat me there, and I’ll tell you. I blinked. What kind of kindergarten crap is that? His grey eyes flashed with anger. You want to know what it’s like? Beat me down the beach. Of all the...
Polka will never die.
Maybe my values are outdated, but I come from an old school of thought. I think that men ought to treat women like something other than just shorter, weaker men with breasts.
Michael smiled at me a little. You’re a good man, Harry. But you’re making the same mistake Nicodemus always has—and the same one Karrin did. What mistake? You all think the critical word in the phras...
Michael titled his head. But . . . Uriel, if I were to misuse it . . . I would Fall, Uriel said quietly. I choked on the air. Holy crap. The last time an archangel Fell, I’m pretty sure there were ext...

My brother threw up his hands. What does a woman need to do, Harry? Rip her clothes off, throw herself on top of you, and shimmy while screaming, 'Do me, baby!'? he shook his head. Sometimes you're a...
My double snorted. That’s good. That really is, the banter thing. I can’t do the banter very well. Maybe that’s why you’re in charge. Of course, if I was in charge more often, you’d get laid a lot mor...
