The Secret Hook-Up (The Copper Valley Thrusters, #6)

by Pippa Grant

I hate depending on people. I hate needing help. I hate vulnerability as a general concept. Too many people have used it against me, so I make it a point to not need anyone else.

I don’t owe someone else their happiness at the expense of mine.

“I’ve never wanted a relationship, but he makes me want to give it a real chance. Not because something’s missing. But because he makes everything better.”

“Addie, I love you so much that I can’t hold it all in. I didn’t know it was possible to love someone as much as I love you. I don’t care what I do when I retire. Whatever it is, I want to do it with you.”

You are the basis of where the next part of my life begins. You’re the sun that everything else revolves around. You are where I want to be, what I want to do, and how I want to live.”
