The Inadequate Heir (The Bridge Kingdom Book 3)

by Danielle L. Jensen

“All the books didn’t disappear from the world because your young self decided to abandon them. They are still waiting for you.”

“You told me once that if you truly believe in something, you should be willing to suffer for it. To die for it. Well, I think that if you truly believe in something, you should live for it.”

“I do want to remake the world so that I can be with you. So that I can get down on my knees and ask you to be my wife. So that I can put a crown on your head and make you my queen. So I can build a shrine and worship you as my goddess. I want all of these things, yet I face a future with none of them, and I don’t know whether I want to fall on my own blade or burn everything to ash because I do not want to let you go.”

“You have me now.” She tangled her fingers in his hair. “It’s not enough.” His hand slid down her back, curving over her ass and jerking her closer. “A lifetime wouldn’t be enough. Eternity wouldn’t be enough. Not when I want to map every star in the sky with you in my arms.”

“I love you, Valcotta. I will have you or I will have no one, because where you go, my heart goes with you.”

“If there are words for how I feel about you, I’ve never heard them. Never seen them written in any of the thousands of books I’ve read.”
