Handy (Four Bears Construction, #8)

by K.M. Neuhold

I don’t know who Riley was or how long it’s been since he lost him, but is it fair of me to hope he left a little piece of Griff’s heart for me? I promise to be careful with it if he did.

“But I want more than this. I want you waking up in my bed and talking too damn much before coffee. I want to know every stupid thing about birds that’s stored in that brain of yours. I want to tell you all the shit that’s hard to say to anybody else.”

“Ledge, I’d sleep under a rock if that was where you were planning to sleep.”

I would burn down the world for this man, and as a park ranger I take fire very seriously.

“I haven’t come home to chaos and noise like this in a long fucking time.”

“I realized I was trying to protect myself from things hurting by building a life where nothing mattered to me. I’m done with that. It was lonely, and I don’t want to be lonely anymore.”

“You shone a bright light on my life, Ledge, and you filled it with colors I thought I’d lost years ago,”

never thought I’d fall in love again, but you made it impossible not to. Falling for you was like coming home, safe and easy and right on this bone-deep level that I can’t ignore.”
