Broken by Daylight (Beasts of the Briar, #4)

by Elizabeth Helen

It’s suffocating, consuming. It’s waking up every day with a weight on your chest, wondering if today will be the day it crushes you entirely. Love is continuing to drink poison because it’s also the only antidote. For me, it is a battle that if he wins, I lose, and if I win, somehow, I still lose.

“Home is more than the roads you’ve walked before or the walls that once sheltered you. You will find it within the bonds you’ve forged and the love you’ve shared. That is something that can never be taken from you.”

“No, Rosalina, I would. I would know you in any form anywhere in all the Vale. By the gentle curve of your smile and the way the air sparkles when you’re around.” I draw myself closer. “In the night’s tapestry, I would know you as a star or as a bloom in a field of flowers. Did you know there is a particular cadence to your heartbeat? Especially when you’re around me. I could pick it out in a symphony.”

“You belonging completely to me, every part of you at my mercy? I would be good to you, good to you like this, but not so good as to give you up. Keldarion won’t give in because he knows how much I want you.”
