Heathen & Honeysuckle (Pacific Shores, #1)

by Sarah A. Bailey

“Do you give one shit about her happiness? About whether or not she feels fulfilled as a person? Do you even love her? Does he? The answer to that last question is no. That man does not love her, not the way she deserves, and that should be your priority. The fact that it’s not is telling about who you are as a person.”

“So, know this: I am not afraid of you. Throw whatever you want at me—at us—but she’s not a piece of property, and she does not belong to you. She’s a human being, and she’s the love of my life. I’ll do whatever I have to do to keep her safe.”

“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.”

“You’re my once-in-a-lifetime kind of love, Darby.”
