Kindle Notes & Highlights
if there was one rule I lived by, it was this. No athletes. Never again.
that won’t last long 😂
“I may miss a lot of things, but one of those will never be how fucking gorgeous you are. Doesn’t matter if you’re covered in grease or flour or have dark circles you’re drowning in. None of it will take away an ounce of your beauty.”
why was it that the bad boy of hockey was the one to see through it all? Why was he the one who saw…me?
God, he was adorable.
Copes interactions with Suttons son 🫶🏼🥲
I might not have been the perfect mom, but I’d taught him to dream big.
there were times I swore they were communicating without words, as if they had their own silent language only they could understand.
can’t wait for Kye & Fallons book 🫶🏼
She grinned up at me, and the action hit me right in the solar plexus, stealing the air from my lungs.
“The color reminds me of your eyes. It felt like it was meant to be.” My gaze jerked to him. “My eyes?” “Turquoise. Like the Caribbean Sea. Could find a world of peace in those eyes.”
Cope sent him the most devastating smile—one that had my ovaries crying out to make mini Copes here and now—I knew one thing. I was so totally screwed.
I wanted to know what it felt like to belong to Cope, not as a possession but as the person he wanted with every fiber of his being.
“I wanted to give you a little of what you’ve given me. It’s not enough, but it’s something.” Fuck. She would destroy me.
“Are you okay? Mom said you needed to say goodbye to Teddy.” Fuck. It wasn’t just Sutton who would destroy me. Luca would, too.
Without me realizing it and without my permission, he’d stolen my heart.

I’m in charge of my life, Cope. And if you would’ve stopped long enough to ask me what I wanted, you might’ve found out it was you.”
“I want you, Cope. I want you to take me. I want to know what it’s like to lose myself in you and forget my own name. I want it all.”
There was no gentle easing into things. Cope gave me exactly what I’d asked for. He took.
Cope was a damn thief, sneaking in and stealing what I didn’t think I’d ever be able to give again.
Sutton would always be worth it. No matter the risk.
“Losing the two of you should’ve been a wake-up call to get healthy.” It should’ve. But it never was. And some tiny part of me would always wonder if it was because I wasn’t enough.
💔
We might not have forever, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t soak up everything we can right now.”
“You wanna do this, then we do it. No half measures. And no throwing up walls after you break down mine.”
you scare the hell out of me, Warrior. Because you make me feel more than I ever thought I could.”
🥲
After last night, I felt great. On more than one level. Because Cope and I were giving this thing a real go. And as much as it scared me, it also gave me hope.
I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, I was in love with Cope. And that would never change.
“I love you. With everything in me. All I am is yours. Brokenness and all.”
“I’m not going anywhere. It’s you and me. Whatever comes our way, we’ll handle it together.”
“I love you. Now. Tomorrow. Twenty years from now. Fifty. It’s never going to end.”
“Hate to tell you this, but you’re stuck with me.” She brushed her lips across mine. “Nowhere I’d rather be.”
“Who would’ve thought all it took to melt the ice queen was Frankie’s charm and one of your triple-chocolate creations?”
Frankie & Evelyn ? Okay a book I’d read😂
“You know you can stay here if you want,” I offered. “It’d be a hell of a lot better than finding a rental while you’re getting started on construction.” “I might take you up on that,” Linc said. “I just need to give Arden a heads-up since she looks out for things while I’m gone.” He winced. “Heads-up might be a good idea since she almost killed me at our last little run-in.”
wasn’t excited to read Linc & Arden’s book but maybe I will like it
I had what I’d always wanted, what I’d always needed, and that would never change.
