Heathen & Honeysuckle (Pacific Shores, #1)

by Sarah A. Bailey

“You remind me of honeysuckle. Nectar sweet as honey, like the sound of your voice. But the berries are deceiving–poisonous if consumed.” He shrugs playfully. “Beautiful and deadly.”

Distance is finite. It can be conquered. But you and I, honeysuckle, we are infinite. We are destined. Written in the stars. Proof of the divine.

My soul finds gravity in your body. I’m sucked into your sunlight. Now you’re gone, and I feel untethered, floating through the cosmos on my own. Aimless, soulless. Lost.

“You’re my ‘it for me’ person. You were my first love. Then, the one who got away. Now, you’re my ‘it was always you.’ And it doesn’t matter what happened in between, because you’re gonna be my forever person too.” He cups my face, bringing his mouth to mine. “You’re my once-in-a-lifetime kind of love, Darby.”
