| a45829b | I know he makes mistakes, but basically he's a good kid," she told him. "Trust him, and trust yourself." She looked so earnest, he thought, as aroused as he was amused. "You're the one who shouldn't be trusting me," he told her, right before he kissed her. As he lowered his mouth to hers, he wrapped his arms around her and drew her close. She leaned into him, her slender body warm and supple in his embrace. Her lips clung, then parted. When.. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 4f44628 | We can't," he said gently, ignoring the hardness and the pain in his groin. "You deserve better than something hot and fast up against a tree." She swallowed. "I'm not so sure about that." | Susan Mallery | ||
| aa356fb | Sounds like we have company," he said. "We're close to Stryker land. Guess they decided to say hi. You go on ahead. I need a few minutes." When he pointed at the front of his jeans, she blushed. "Oh. I see your problem. Well, you could walk right behind me and no one would notice." He chuckled. "I'll wait it out. Go on." | Susan Mallery | ||
| bf4572d | He crossed the bare dirt until he reached the fire. His brother didn't look up as he approached, but he didn't walk away, either. Chase figured that was about as good as it was going to get. He stood there, shifting his weight, then finally cleared his throat. "I'm sorry about before," he said gruffly. "I misread the situation. I can't figure out why I did. I know you wouldn't hurt Phoebe. It's just...I saw her laying there and I reacted." .. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 51fc25c | The night was still and cool, with no hint of stars above the cloud cover. The forecasted rain had yet to fall, and he was beginning to believe that they were going to get through the cattle drive without some kind of disaster. Even as the thought formed, he made a fist and knocked on the log. No point in tempting fate. Not when there were still two days and plenty of miles between his greenhorns and the safety of the house. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 91a2f7f | Maya sat with Phoebe and Chase. He didn't linger on that group, because he knew what would happen. His gaze would settle on Phoebe, and he wouldn't want to look away. Not with the firelight making her eyes shine and her skin glow. Not with the sound of her voice easing inside of him and tying him up in knots. She was five kinds of temptation with just enough hell thrown in to make things interesting. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 895b50d | Life is short. You have to do what you can while you have the chance. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 755ba06 | She held out the box of fudge. "I made this. I don't know if you like chocolate. If not, you could take it into the office or..." Instead of taking the candy, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside. The second the door closed behind her, she was in his arms, his mouth on hers." | Susan Mallery | ||
| da4df95 | There's magic in loving someone. It's like a part of the universe changes every time we open our heart. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 6feb33f | So it can be done, if you're willing to work at it. There's no magic, there's just believing. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 0b63e17 | Zane liked her. At least Chase thought he did, and she was gone enough on the man to be willing to accept the gospel truth from a seventeen-year-old. That being the case, when she walked into the clearing before dinner and saw Zane sitting in a camp chair with an empty seat so conveniently next to him, she gathered her courage and walked straight toward it. "Hi," she said as she sat next to him. Zane nodded. Trying not to be discouraged--ju.. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 9e13a85 | If you hang on too tight, sometimes things get broken. If you don't let go sometimes, the bad stuff can't get out and the good stuff can't get in." He" | Susan Mallery | ||
| cd51a3f | Brides tended to travel in packs. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 2d670a9 | down the hall toward the meeting rooms. At the far end, she saw a familiar figure wrestling with a vacuum. As she watched, Courtney tripped over the cord and nearly plowed face-first into the wall. A combination of love and frustration swelled up inside her. There was a reason the phrase was "pulling a Courtney." Because if someone was going to stumble, fall, drop, break or slip, it was her baby sister." | Susan Mallery | ||
| f3f1a79 | American flag appeared on the screen. "Between 2001 and 2012, nearly sixty-five hundred American soldiers were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. During that same period of time--" the screen shifted to the face of a battered woman clutching two small children "--almost twelve thousand women were murdered by their husbands, boyfriends or a former partner. Even now, three women are murdered every single day by the man who claims to love them." | Susan Mallery | ||

| 9485620 | It's good to learn stuff. It keeps us young. | Susan Mallery | ||
| dc0c82c | She breathed, she walked through her house and knew that nothing was ever going to be the same again. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 1cc8d61 | Wilma's favorite is the time you nailed his girlfriend's doors and windows shut so she couldn't get out for their date. That's a good one, but my favorite is the time you laid down right in front of his car right there. | Susan Mallery | ||
| d3ab023 | Glasses hid his eyes, which were his best feature. Her ex-husband was pale, slightly flabby, at least he had been the last time she'd seen him naked, and had the beginnings of a bald spot on the top of his head. His chest was furry to the point of making her wonder if his family tree held the evolutionary missing link. | Susan Mallery | ||
| d24aed1 | all the way to her toes...and her soul. Her arms hung at her sides and she curled her fingers into her palms. She wanted to touch him, she wanted to hold him and be held, only it wasn't that simple. | Susan Mallery | ||
| f0d5758 | She ignored the fact that he would also want her to keep moving forward, to have a life, to be happy. All impossible concepts | Susan Mallery | ||
| 1911681 | We all have to deal with something. I know that to be true. They say God never gives us more than we can handle, but I say sometimes He assumes we're stronger than we are. Life is a challenge. | Susan Mallery | ||
| a698845 | How do any of us get out of this life alive? | Susan Mallery | ||
| 853e086 | You did good today." Chase shook his head. "No, Zane. I made a big mistake. Phoebe could have died out there. We could have lost the steers. All because I pulled some stupid stunt. I'm sorry." Zane's throat tightened. He tried to speak but couldn't. So he wrapped his arms around Chase and pulled him close. "It's okay," he managed at last, his voice hoarse. "I screw up all the time, too. The thing is, I never let you see that." Chase hugged .. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 5893e9c | He'd been the one to lie and cheat in their relationship. So why was he punishing her? Why-- Who cared why, she told herself. She'd just spent a week on a cattle drive. She'd saved fifty steers from drowning. She'd crossed a raging river and had lived to tell the tale. Jeff was beneath her notice. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 4bc4e7c | He kissed her again, pulling her up against him and running his hands up and down her back. As he deepened the kiss, he became aware of clapping, cheers and catcalls. No doubt Chase had gone into the restaurant and rounded up the whole Fool's Gold crowd to come watch the show. Zane figured they might as well get their money's worth. He pulled back slightly and took her hand in his as he lowered himself to one knee. He took off his hat and s.. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 94f2cde | Not at the same time." He leaned toward her and lowered his voice. "I've never been into the group thing. After the first five or six times, it's not all that fun." "You're not impressing me with stories like that." "What" | Susan Mallery | ||
| 41379d6 | I think you're attracted to me and you don't know how to handle it." She" | Susan Mallery | ||
| 006b242 | I'm not attracted to you." He winked. "It's okay. You can tell me. I'll keep your secret. You want me." "Only" | Susan Mallery | ||
| 4748d7d | He was curious about how much of her indignation was real and how much was self-protection. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 88b8cf9 | suspicious. "You're gonna help me?" "Apparently." "Because of Larissa?" | Susan Mallery | ||
| af05fe7 | We have to talk." She paused in the act of sweeping up hair from the floor and glanced at him. "I don't think so." "Maybe I'm here to tell you what you want to hear." "You look way too angry for that to be true. I'm guessing you want to threaten me. I don't accept threats during work hours and I'm on the clock for another hour." He swore silently. Jason was right - she had balls. Giant ones." | Susan Mallery | ||
| e47f01a | her body was stirring as heat sparked and her girl parts woke up. No | Susan Mallery | ||
| 7b0d452 | How can you have a book for a friend?" Abby asked. "You can't talk to them." "No, but they can take you away to another place. With books, the world feels safe." | Susan Mallery | ||
| a95a0dc | Es mejor dejarse tentar por un croissant que por un hombre. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 952e8bb | Phoebe fastened her seat belt, then gave him a quick glance. Her heart did a one and a half somersault with a half twist at the sight of his profile. He looked good enough to be on a coin. | Susan Mallery | ||
| fa8c24f | l'emission soit une reussite. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 4ac8dde | Nothing is free. If you stay safe, the price is never knowing love. Because to receive love, you have to give love. And to give love is to be vulnerable. You can build walls and be lonely or you can tear them down and hand over your heart." "What" | Susan Mallery | ||

| 4e90646 | Too bad Justice refused to let him toss live grenades to the side of the course. That would add motivation. He knew from personal experience. His personal best time for a quarter-mile run had been in Africa--while being chased by an angry rhino. Imminent death made for a great workout. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 282aa19 | I thought I loved him, nut know I am questioning that. Love is supposed to be a positive thing. With him, my world got smaller, not bigger. I made so many bad choices. | Susan Mallery | ||
| 5cbe9b6 | That's a lot. he whispered It is. I want you to be prepared. There's no preparing for that. He kissed her again.. I'm going to have to wing it. | Susan Mallery |
