Boarded Hearts (Seattle Scorpions, #1)

by Ruth Stilling

“I had rules, Felicity. I don’t anymore.” “Why not?” “Because you’re breaking them, Angel. One by one.”

“I see you, Felicity, all of you. Inside and out, and you’re so unbelievably stunning.”

I love the way he makes me feel. Like I’m his, but rather than as a trophy or belonging, he’s honored to hold me, kiss me, and maybe one day even love me. “Keep going.”

“W-what?” “Date me, Angel. Let me show you how a man should be. Let me hold you, kiss you, take you out, and spoil you. Let me call you mine because, goddammit, I need to call you mine.”

“I’m going all in here, Felicity. I don’t know if it’s going to backfire and crush me, but I have to try. I need to try with you.”

“This isn’t about me owning or trying to tell you what to do. I just want to protect and care for my girlfriend. I’ve spent too long chasing you to blow it. I want to give you everything you deserve.”

You’ve shown me what relationships can be like, shown me that I can follow my dreams, and that a love like this isn’t limited to fiction. You are my living and breathing fairytale.”
