Kindle Notes & Highlights
I didn’t even realize I needed someone to catch me when I was falling. And then Conan crashes into my life. Making me see how fucking miserable I am, dragging myself through life. The spark I lost seems to ignite again when I’m around him.
“Whoever made you doubt how fucking stunning you are, I want to hunt down and beat the shit out of.”
“The world is full of monsters, Hallie. But these guys? They’re the good ones disguised as the bad. Just remember that.”
“I’m joking. I’d still date you if you were broke. I fell for you because you’re funny… and very, very persistent.”
“Oh, and you’re probably the hottest man I’ve seen on this planet. That helps. Even if the money goes, you’ll still be fine as hell and know how to fuck.”
“You fell for me, hmm?”
“Yeah. I dived headfirst off a fucking cliff for you, Mr. Quinn. Straight into the sea of madness and obsession.”
“Trust me, baby. I’m swimming right th...

Because as long as I’m with her, it doesn’t matter where we are. She’s home.
“And I say this with every ounce of hatred I possess in my tiny, furious body—Fuck. Ben. If I ever see that bastard again, I swear to God, I’ll go full crazy and drive my stiletto through his eye.”
Because Hallie is my future, and I can’t let this go without fighting to my last breath for her.
Because he is my person. I know that. And soul mates aren’t supposed to treat you like this. But soul mates don’t hide who they truly are from each other—monster or not.
“You’ll always be everything to me, Hallie. Even if you hate me for the rest of your life. I’ll love you until I die. You are my first and only love, trouble.”
I’ve missed her. I need this woman like air to breathe. No. I need her more than that. I’m fucking dead inside without her.
“You were fucking a switch. My god, Hallie. You’ve done us proud.”
“A switch. Filthy. I love that for you,”
“Trouble, if I’m going to die, just please make sure you’re holding my hand when I go. Maybe that way, we’ll get another shot.”
“I love you, Hallie. I didn’t realize you could feel a love like this before you. I love you. I love you.”
“I love you, Conan. I’ve never stopped—how could I? You’re my soulmate. We will get you through this. And then you can tell me again. Every day.”
The kiss ignites my soul.
“You never lost me. Not in my heart. I think I was always going to find my way back to you.”
“Or I was going to chase you until you did.”
“No. Your dark humor is actually a major turn on for me.”
“Good. I suppose I’d best sleep so I can get back to running after you.”
“I thought I wasn’t allowed to do any strenuous activities, Nurse Trouble?”
“Oh, baby. Service me however you please. I remember you told me once I needed my balls checked? Now might be a good time. Tongue works best, or so I’ve read online. But while you’re there, my dick probably needs some attention.”
I press my finger to my lips to hush him. I’ve got myself a yap king. Good thing I fucking love him.
“There’s only one of us that’s medically trained here, Mr. Quinn. I’d appreciate it if you just shut ...

“It’s against the law to handcuff my patients to the bed. But I might have to break that for you.”
“I don’t regret a single thing. I’d do it again in a heartbeat for you.”
“All I want—now, tomorrow, next week, next month, fifty years from now—is you. You are it for me. You are the purpose I’ve been hunting for my entire life. You, trouble. And as many kids
as you’ll let me put in you. And maybe some more dogs to keep Bertie company.”
“I believe you. And that’s all I want too. I choose you, exactly as you are, beastie. It’s always going to be you.”
I choose you, always.
“I want you to have something on you all the time so you remember that no matter what, every day, for the rest of my life, I choose you. For exactly who you are. No matter your past. Even on the bad days. It’s always going to be you for me, beastie.”
Us Quinn brothers might rule it here, but sometimes I wonder if we’re the ones who are actually prisoners behind these gates.
My peace isn’t a place. It’s a person.
My future is right here in my arms, wherever she wants to drag me.
“Good.” She nips my bottom lip. “Because I’m completely mad for you, beastie. You make me so happy. I’m glad you chased me.”
She is my purpose. My peace. My fucking everything. And she always will be.
Because he isn’t the villain in my story. He’s the storm that washed all the pain away. Conan Quinn didn’t just spark something in me—he struck a match and set my soul on fire. I started breathing again the moment our lips touched. He set me free and claimed me in the same heartbeat. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be—wrapped in this man’s arms, ready to watch him become the kind of father every child deserves. We both spent too many years hiding in the shadows, letting grief rot us from the inside out. It’s as if we were destined to drag each other into the light. And for the first time, we
