Everyone in Virgin River knows where I live. And probably half the people in Clear River. God, he said, tightening his arms around her. Did it ever occur to you that you could have been at risk? he as...
Ever since that happened, I feel like trash. When you first started talking to me in school? When I told you I’d been sick? I hadn’t been sick. I’d been knocked up while I was passed out. You are not...
Even though I don’t stand a chance with Vanni, I have to come clean about how I feel. It’s still too soon after Matt. You gotta believe me, I never wanted anything bad to happen to Matt. Joe gripped P...
Ellie! No! He rushed to her. God, no! You can’t be leaving me! Don’t! He grabbed her face and covered her mouth in a hard, desperate kiss. Her eyes flew open in stunned disbelief; she stopped breathin...
Don’t make love to your problems—they’ll never give you back the satisfaction you give them.
Do you know what your husband is doing? she asked. Yes, June said, sounding annoyed. Not babysitting. Are you worried? Only that one of them will shoot off a toe. Why? Are you? Well… Yes! You should h...
Because, shit for brains, she’d like you to disappear and leave her alone. I’m sure she’d like to stuff you in a hole, but since that isn’t going to happen, second choice is you go home to your new wi...
Are you good to go? Because I should get that nap or I’ll be useless tonight. Go, he said. We’re going to do stuff. Now remember, always— Wear seat belts, make frequent bathroom stops, never let her o...
And then Jack noticed another thing. A lot had been happening around here, he guessed. While Mel went out the door with David, Brie took a slight detour, finding Mike, who was in a conversation with P...

Aiden was stunned silent for a minute. His mind was whirring. Then he was slowly overcome by a sly grin. Oh man, he said. You wouldn’t be able to keep yourself from answering the phone if it rang, hop...
After several minutes of quiet darkness, she heard his voice. Sorry if I scared you. I don’t roar that often. A slow smile spread on her lips and she snuggled in under the old quilt, more content than...
After all, Jack had gone into war five times and the only really bad injury he’d sustained was a pretty miserable shot in the ass. Not everyone who went to war came out crippled.
A deep sigh escaped him and he tightened his arms. He was just beginning to admit it to himself—he was in love with her. Totally gone.

You don’t need approval and you don’t need an excuse or explanation for living your own life. Remember that. Oh,
You don't need a lot of money to live a full life--all you need is a fertile mind, some books and a good attitude. Books are free at the library, but a fertile mind takes practice.
What’s so funny? he asked. In the end, you begged. He sighed. I did. I begged. I’m sorry—I swore to you I’d never beg. I’m okay with it now, she laughed. I don’t think you’ll have to beg again. That’s...
What’s on your mind, son? Paul scooted forward a bit. Well, it’s no secret I’m in love with your daughter. I want to marry Vanni. Do I have your blessing? Your permission? Walt shook his head and chuc...
