Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Few women can bear the darkness. I can’t … I won’t force you to be with me. You are free.”
“Free to do as I please,”
“But you will kill anyone who touches me.”
I brought our lips close. “Not just kill them, obliterate them in the cruelest
way possible for touching something they ar...

“Is there something in there capable of love?”
“Whatever’s in there, it’s yours. Whatever love I’m capable of, it’s yours, too.”
“You are beyond redemption, Remo,”
“But so am I because even free to do as I please, I choose you. I’m no angel. An angel wouldn’t love a man like you, but I do. I love you.”
“Become a Falcone. Become mine.” I smiled. “I have been yours for a long time.”
Was this love? Was this madness? I didn’t care. It was perfection either way.
“You are part of our family now. I don’t give a fuck about the past. Just make sure you don’t break Remo’s fucking heart.”
I wasn’t sure if Remo had something resembling a heart.” “He loves you.”
“We are brothers. We’ll die for each other.”
“No. I never considered marriage an option for Remo, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s a good thing. It was for me despite my own reluctance in regards to marriage.”
“It was never a matter of dislike, Serafina. You were our captive, the enemy, and I didn’t want Remo to lose himself in his game. I thought it wouldn’t work. But I was wrong. You saved him.”
“I couldn’t let my family kill him.” Nino shook his head. “That’s not what I mean.”
“Remo and I, we are messed up in ways that can’t be fixed, not really. For someone to accept us despite what we are, it takes a lot of forgiveness and love. Our past … it broke certain parts of us.”
“I love you no matter what. I’ve heard of every horror you committed, and I’m still here.”
“Real love doesn’t make you weak. Love how it’s meant to be makes you stronger. But there’s no room for fear where there’s love.”
“I won’t allow you to be dragged down into my darkness.”
“Why the broken, singed wings? The fallen angel is kneeling, and the tips of the feathers are crooked and burning.”
“Remo burned to save us. I never asked Remo about the details why he wanted to get the tattoo, but I think it has something to do with that day.”
“It’s a fallen angel, like you said. It represents the fall Nino and I took on the day our mother tried to kill us.” My brows snapped together. “Fall? You saved your brothers. How’s that falling?”
That’s why the fallen angel is kneeling in pools of blood.”
Love can bloom in the darkest place, and ours did wildly, freely, untamable.
“One day your family will understand. One day there will be peace.”
“You want peace after what my family did to you?” “You’re going to marry the man who kidnapped you.”
“I don’t have to ask if you’ll be safe because his eyes tell me all I need to know. He’s a fucking murderous bastard, but a bastard who will kill anyone daring to look at you the wrong way.”
“Remo will go through fire for me and our children,”
“You had to lose something to win.” She nodded but her eyes weren’t sad. “I did. But losing something makes you appreciate the things you have so much more. I don’t regret a thing because it brought me here. I love you with every fiber of my being.”
didn’t give a fuck about: the cruelest man of the west.
