Kindle Notes & Highlights
Since finding out I was a dad nine months ago, Abby has been my first priority.
I don’t want to notice that full lip or the row of perfectly straight teeth sinking into it. I don’t want to notice the way his eyes heat when he looks at me, or the way they sweep from my face down my body and back up again so quickly I’m not sure it actually happened.
Because Ronan McCabe hasn’t looked at me with this lost puppy dog look in a very long time, and the last time he did, it ruined my marriage and almost ruined his career.
I wish I wasn’t seeing this side of him either. Because the hard, resentful man who’s played for me the past six years is easy to boss around and easy to dismiss.
But seeing this human side of him that reminds me of who he used to be?
This isn’t going to be good for e...

I’m not sure why, but babies love me. It’s a cruel trick of nature, I guess, to give a woman who can’t have kids the ability to calm any baby she comes into contact with.
a truth I will never reveal to a single living soul—is that I couldn’t stop looking at her holding my baby.
when a woman is beautiful, strong, and successful, she’s a triple threat.
But I’m not thinking about what a terrible idea this is. I’m allowing my body to act on instinct. And my instinct has always told me that AJ and I together would burn hotter than the sun.
Holy shit. She’s going to be the death of me one way or another, so it might as well be through pleasure.
“I don’t eat breakfast. But I’d kill for a cup of coffee.” “All this talk of killing people last night and this morning . . . I didn’t know you were so violent,” I tease.
There’s not an ounce of softness anywhere on her body, which is kind of perfect because there’s not an ounce of softness in her personality, either. Except when she’s with Abby, and then it’s like seeing a whole different side of her.
I’m avoiding looking at her in that sexy thong and bra, trying to stop wondering why she’s wearing sexy lingerie to work, because I need this fucking hard-on to disappear before she notices it.
“Oh, Sunshine, I’ve been waiting for you for a fucking decade. I could wait longer . . . I would wait longer, if I had to.”
“My plan is to ruin you for every other man, forever. You just have to ask.”
“Goddamn, you’re so sexy when you bite your lip like that. You do it all the time, and it drives me fucking insane.”
“But for once, I need you to let me be in charge. I promise, I will take very good care of you.”
I don’t know if the thought of always feeling this addicted to AJ is appealing, or fucking terrifying. All I know is that it doesn't matter, because there's no way I want to live without her in my life.
Look at you, standing there holding my baby, and looking at me like you’ve never wanted anything more than this.
Us, together . . . it’s so easy.
It’s like it was mea...

Funny how I’ve never had a problem standing in a locker room full of mostly naked men, until now, when one of them is mine.
My heart skips a beat at that word. Mine. But he is, isn’t he? Just like I’m his. And I really like this for us.
He’s so ingrained into my soul at this point, I don’t think I could live without him. I couldn’t protect myself from getting hurt now if I tried, and I’m pretty sure there’s no need to keep trying.
“Oh, Sunshine . . .” Picking me up with both arms, he puts a knee on the bed and leans down to
breath when his lips meet my nipple, “is not the same as wanting forever.”
“With you, it is,”
“You deserve every good thing in life, and I plan to make sure you get what you deserve.”
She and Ronan are mine . . . the family I never thought I’d have. God, not having to hide this anymore is the best feeling in the world.
